Just a random idea: maybe this can be resolved by just updating the localns
before calling get_type_hints() like this:
localns = locals().copy()
localns.update({cls.__name__: cls})
In general I like how the PEP is written now. I maybe would add examples
for this

Python 3.6 solves the issue.
actually showing something like
if TYPE_CHECKING:
Alias = List[Tuple[int, SomeClass]]
class NT(NamedTuple):
one: SomeClass
other: Alias
class SomeClass:
