[issue41872] get_type_hints fails to resolve forward references in nested function

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

This cannot be helped (unless we were to add an ugly sys._getframe() call to get_type_hints(), which I don't want to do). The solution is to pass `localns=locals()`, e.g.

get_type_hints(foo, None, locals())

or

get_type_hints(foo, localns=locals())
