Submission for SC consideration: PEP 649 -- Deferred Evaluation Of Annotations Using Descriptors

[larryhastings]

I apologize for the lateness of the submission--but here it is, PEP 649.

I'll keep an eye on this issue in case I can answer any questions for the committee here.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks, @larryhastings! I will add it to our agenda, although there's a bit of a backlog at the moment we will try to get it as soon as possible :)

We're tentatively accepting the PEP by telling the next SC to do so in three months in absence of new compelling reasons not to. See https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-649-deferred-evaluation-of-annotations-tentatively-accepted/21331 for what that means and as a place for further discussion.

I've updated PEP 649.

After some consideration we've decided to accept the PEP for 3.13, rather than 3.12, due to the size and intricacy of the implementation. We do want to get this into 3.13 early, though, so if this could land shortly after the 3.12 beta 1 cut that would be great. For now we're assuming it won't need a future import in 3.13.
