--- Comment #5 from Adriaan de Groot <adridg@freebsd.org> ---
Looking at the meson code, it does this (in many places, example here condensed
from modules/gnome.py):


```
import typing as T
if T.TYPE_CHECKING:
    from typing_extensions import Literal, TypedDict
```

It's supposed to be a conditional import; python3.11, and python3.9, have a
Python module `typing.py` that simply sets `TYPE_CHECKING` to False. I can only
imagine that the OP was somehow, or somewhy, enabling (stricter) type-checking
in the python interpreter. Given that neither Jan nor Charlie can reproduce the
problem, and neither can I (the guards are sufficient), I'm going to close this
because it's a non-default configuration and everyone has moved on.
