Public bug reported: The Sentinel object in neutron_lib.constants doesn't return the sentinel object when used with copy.copy(), but it does with copy.deepcopy().
This behavior is inconsistent as deepcopy keeps the singleton behavior, but copy doesn't. For example: --- import copy from neutron_lib.constants import Sentinel singleton = Sentinel() print(copy.deepcopy(singleton) == copy.copy(singleton)) --- Outputs 'False'.
