Change Summary

In PR #7680 the typing.Literal was replaced with typing_extensions.Literal. I was curious enough to double-check the origin and found that the error was caused by importing from typing import Literal inside the TYPE_CHECKING block but then using it outside the scope.

I suggest to revert typing.Literal back, but importing it correctly at the module level. This meets the required Python 3.8+ limitation and works well with the example from the original issue:

import typing
from pydantic import BaseModel
typing.get_type_hints(BaseModel.model_copy)
typing.get_type_hints(BaseModel.model_dump)
typing.get_type_hints(BaseModel.dict)
