Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
It should definitely not return {} for objects without __annotations__
attributes -- get_type_hints(42) should raise TypeError.
One could argue that get_type_hints(Bar()) incorrectly returns a dict, but we
want to allow for some duck typing here, and, honestly, I don't see this is a
big problem. The error message tries to convey the most likely cause of the
problem (and it does so nicely for things like get_type_hints(42)).
I think we needn't fix this.
