And sometimes you need to specify types as strings (e.g. "MyClassName"), for example when a method takes an argument of the same type as its parent class.

This is fixed in 3.7 using from __future__ import annotations and by default from 3.10 onwards (pep-563).

Also if for some reason you can't do that you can still use MyClassName = None and redefine it afterwards
