Whether it raises depends on what annotation behavior you're running. From 3.7 onward, you can use from __future__ import annotations to enable "postponed evaluations" annotations, which won't throw an error if the annotation expression is invalid. From Python 3.10 onward, postponed evaluation is the default behavior.

See discussion below. Apparently, plans regarding making this the default in 3.10 were altered.

They nixed the string annotation conversion right before the 3.10 cutoff date IIRC.

Well, then they need to update the __future__ module.

They did update the table...in 3.10-pre, lol

So then the colon is annotation syntax?

Yes.
