[New-bugs-announce] [issue42824] get_type_hints throws for local class reference

[Fabian.M]

New submission from Fabian.M <f.mehmke at gmail.com>:

The following code throws with "NameError: name 'Nested' is not defined".

For reference, it works well when moving class definitions out of the local scope.


import typing
T = typing.TypeVar('T')

def test():
    class Nested(typing.Generic[T]):
        pass

    class Test(typing.Generic[T]):
      nested: Nested[T]

    typing.get_type_hints(Test) # this throws

test()
