Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
I'm not keen on prohibiting nonlocal variable reference in annotations, since I can imagine uses for this (e.g. in tests). I'm not too worried about keeping the cell alive "forever", since with Larry's PEP 649 their lifetime would end when the object containing the annotation ends. Someone should look into how Batuhan's super()-in-annotation example would behave under Larry's PEP 649. (Using super() in the magical function Larry proposes to generate might not work anyway, since super()'s own magical powers don't work in a nested function.) Re: issue42737, not sure what to do for that, since neither PEP 563 nor PEP 649 gives a way to access those annotations. Then again, that's also true for annotations on local variables. So maybe we can treat them the same? Type checkers won't care, and runtime uses of annotations (whether as type hints or otherwise) won't have access...... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42725> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
