Davin Potts added the comment: This arises from the behavior of pickle (which is used by default in multiprocessing to serialize objects sent to / received from other processes in data exchanges), as seen with Python 3.6:
>>> import pickle >>> x = pickle.dumps(mock.sentinel.foo) >>> x b'\x80\x03cunittest.mock\n_SentinelObject\nq\x00)\x81q\x01}q\x02X\x04\x00\x00\x00nameq\x03X\x03\x00\x00\x00fooq\x04sb.' >>> pickle.loads(x) sentinel.foo >>> pickle.loads(x) == mock.sentinel.foo False ---------- nosy: +davin _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29229> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
