Sentinel objects
****************

PyTypeObject PySentinel_Type

   This instance of "PyTypeObject" represents the Python "sentinel"
   type.  This is the same object as "sentinel".

   Added in version 3.15.0a8 (unreleased).

int PySentinel_Check(PyObject *o)

   Return true if *o* is a "sentinel" object.  The "sentinel" type
   does not allow subclasses, so this check is exact.

   Added in version 3.15.0a8 (unreleased).

PyObject *PySentinel_New(const char *name, const char *module_name)
    *Return value: New reference.*

   Return a new "sentinel" object with "__name__" set to *name* and
   "__module__" set to *module_name*. *name* must not be "NULL". If
   *module_name* is "NULL", "__module__" is set to "None". Return
   "NULL" with an exception set on failure.

   For pickling to work, *module_name* must be the name of an
   importable module, and the sentinel must be accessible from that
   module under a path matching *name*.  Pickle treats *name* as a
   global variable name in *module_name* (see "object.__reduce__()").

   Added in version 3.15.0a8 (unreleased).
