This was an oversight ._.
Sentinel package using `sentinel` import already exists on PyPI.
This was an oversight :D. There already exists a [`sentinel`](https://pypi.org/project/sentinel/) package on PyPI that uses `sentinel` as an [import package](https:/packaging.python.org/en/latest/discussions/distribution-package-vs-import-package/#what-s-an-import-package). We'll have to renam...

JoeLook I totally empathise with the “code is just a means to an end” people, that’s a fine way to engage with code, it’s ok to not really be interested in it on its own terms. But extending that outward, to be incapable of imagining that *others* are interested in it and *can* wield it artfully is just so bizarre and myopic. I don’t get how they don’t think about that for even a second longer or yknow, apply the thought to any other medium and realise how fundamentally batshit an idea it is

A Newly Discovered Recording Lets You Hear Delta Blues Legend Robert Johnson in Stunning Clarity
Great swathes of rock music since the nineteen-sixties would never have existed, we're sometimes told, were it not for the recordings of Robert Johnson. Certainly the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, and Bob Dylan have never hesitated to acknowledge his influence.
