Beartype 0.17.2 nervously skitters about on thin ice. Cracks form, yet beartype 0.17.2 fails to return to shore. "What are you even doing!?", the crowd exclaims. Verily, it is best not to ask questions:
pip install --upgrade beartypeThis patch release comes courtesy these proud GitHub Sponsors, without whom @leycec's cats would currently be eating grasshoppers:

This Release Kinda Sucks, Huh?
Alright, alright. You found us out already.
Beartype 0.17.2 is an extremely minor patch release that exists purely to relax the bad assumption that all Python 3.9 releases unconditionally define the standard typing.ForwardRef.__forward_module__ dunder attribute, resolving issue #324 kindly submitted by stone-cold typonista @jvesely (Jan Vesely). Although Python ≥ 3.9.18 definitively defines this attribute, an unknown range of older Python 3.9 patch releases fail to do so.
Beartype 0.17.2 resolves this by naively pretending that all Python 3.9 releases fail to do so. Although kinda non-ideal, it's unclear whether this attribute is even used (i.e., set to a string) under Python 3.9. In fact, it's unclear whether this attribute is even used anywhere, ever. It probably will be under Python ≥ 3.13, but that's putting the proverbial cart before the horse. Anyyyyyyway.
We now return to your regularly scheduled Python hackathon.
