Forward References

[Jonathan Gossage]

I am attempting to use forward references in my program and I am failing.
This also does not work with the older way of putting the name of a class
as a string. Here is some sample code:

from __future__ import annotations

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import TypeAlias


ColorDef: TypeAlias = RGB | int | str



@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class RGB(object):

Can anyone suggest how I should fix this without reversing the statement
order?

    pass
