New submission from Jason Curtis:
When a sentinel object from unittest.mock.sentinel is passed through a
multiprocessing.Pool.map, I expect it to still be comparable.
As a user, I'd like to be able to write a unit test using sentinels on my
unparallelized code, and then see that the test still passes after I
parallelize the code using multiprocessing, so that I can make use of sentinels
in regression testing.
Example:
```
from unittest import mock
import multiprocessing
def identity(x):
return x
with multiprocessing.Pool() as pool:
multiprocessed = list(pool.map(identity, [mock.sentinel.foo]))
assert identity(mock.sentinel.foo) == mock.sentinel.foo # Passes
assert multiprocessed[0] == mock.sentinel.foo # Fails
```
