Since this needs to be used in the generated code, should we make this public?

I figured that the generator is in the "friends zone" for api-core. :)

I think the concern is that this type will be exposed as a type to users of the API?

It seems like an "implementation detail" to me, uninteresting to anyone. It will be in generated code, and present only in the definition of the OptionalRetry type -- see googleapis/gapic-generator-python#1032 (review). I am in fact considering a change to that PR which removes even the classname. Instead of:

try:
    OptionalRetry = Union[retries.Retry, gapic_v1.method._MethodDefault]
except AttributeError:
    OptionalRetry = Union[retries.Retry, object]

I'm thinking this would be simpler / clearer:

OptionalRetry = Union[retries.Retry, type(gapic_v1.method.DEFAULT)]

Unfortunately, the latter does not work.

Yes, that is a concern.

On second thought though, I think most users usages of the _MethodDefault type will be by omitting the retry argument, so they probably won't need to access this directly. Especially not if OptionalRetry is exposed in the generated client.

DEFAULT = _MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE
"""Sentinel value indicating that a retry or timeout argument was unspecified,
so the default should be used."""
