In python 3.9, I get the following error:

In python 3.10, I get no runtime errors:



However, Pylance (I am not sure about mypy) didn’t recognize Any. Instead it made it “Unknown”.

In fact, I can put anything in 3.10 annotation and it runs just fine. 

I am not sure if this is the intention of Python3.10

I don't say it works 100% use cases. But when you want to use type
checker (mypy, pyre), or code completions (e.g. pylance), it "works".
When you need to support typing.get_type_hints, you can still `from
typing import Any`.

And we can consider resolving typing.Any (and any other globals) in
typing.get_type_hints(), instead of adding Any to builtins.

As Abdulla said, having both `any` and `Any` in builtins makes Python
more confusing.
If typing.get_type_hints() is the problem, why don't we changing
typing.get_type_hints() behavior?
