New submission from Misha Drachuk <mi...@drach.uk>:
Forward reference is not resolved by `dataclasses.fields()`, but it works with
`typing.get_type_hints()`.
E.g.
from dataclasses import dataclass, fields
from typing import Optional, get_type_hints
@dataclass
class Nestable:
child: Optional['Nestable']
o = Nestable(None)
print('fields:', fields(o))
print('type hints:', get_type_hints(Nestable))
... outputs the following:
fields: (Field(name='child',type=typing.Union[ForwardRef('Nestable'), NoneType]
... )
type hints: {'child': typing.Union[__main__.Nestable, NoneType]}
