New submission from Martijn Pieters:
Forward references to a module can fail, if the module doesn't yet have the
required object. The "forward references" section names circular dependencies
as one use for forward references, but the following example fails:
$ cat test/__init__.py
from .a import A
from .b import B
$ cat test/a.py
import typing
from . import b
class A:
def foo(self: 'A', bar: typing.Union['b.B', None]):
pass
$ cat test/b.py
import typing
from . import a
class B:
def spam(self: 'B', eggs: typing.Union['a.A', None]):
pass
$ bin/python -c 'import test'
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: module 'test.a' has no attribute 'A'
The forward reference test fails because only NameError exceptions are caught,
not AttributeError exceptions.
