collected during class body execution. For best practices on working
with :attr:`!__annotations__`, please see :ref:`annotations-howto`.

.. caution::

Accessing the :attr:`!__annotations__` attribute of a class
object directly may yield incorrect results in the presence of
metaclasses. In addition, the attribute may not exist for
some classes. Use :func:`inspect.get_annotations` to
retrieve class annotations safely.

* - .. attribute:: type.__type_params__
- A :class:`tuple` containing the :ref:`type parameters <type-params>` of
a :ref:`generic class <generic-classes>`.
