Bug report

from __future__ import annotations appears to break TypedDict required/optional keys ending up in __required_keys__ and __optional_keys__. mypy works as expected though.

Using the example from https://peps.python.org/pep-0655/#usage-in-python-3-11 as the base

$ cat t.py
from __future__ import annotations

from typing_extensions import NotRequired, TypedDict

class Dog(TypedDict):
    name: str
    owner: NotRequired[str]

print("required", Dog.__required_keys__)
print("optional", Dog.__optional_keys__)
$ python3 t.py
required frozenset({'name', 'owner'})
optional frozenset()

With the __future__ import removed, works as expected:

$ cat t.py
from typing_extensions import NotRequired, TypedDict

class Dog(TypedDict):
    name: str
    owner: NotRequired[str]

print("required", Dog.__required_keys__)
print("optional", Dog.__optional_keys__)
$ python3 t.py
required frozenset({'name'})
optional frozenset({'owner'})

Note: breaks across different variations of total and Required/NotRequired and typing_extensions vs typing imports, above is just one example.

https://peps.python.org/pep-0655/#how-to-teach-this contains an example with the __future__ annotations import in place with no mention that it would not cause __required_keys__ and __optional_keys__ becoming populated as expected, so I'm assuming this is a bug.
