[New-bugs-announce] [issue42904] get_type_hints does not provide localns for classes

[Paul Bryan]

New submission from Paul Bryan <pbryan at anode.ca>:

According to PEP 563:

> The get_type_hints() function automatically resolves the correct value of globalns for functions and classes. It also automatically provides the correct localns for classes.

This statement about providing correct localns for classes does not appear to be true.

Guido suggested this should be treated as a bug.
