inner class of NamedTuple triggers "Invalid statement"

[Lambda-Logan]

This will show an error.

from typing import NamedTuple


class Name(NamedTuple):
    name: str = ""

    class Inner:
        pass

>>> error: Invalid statement in NamedTuple definition; expected "field_name: field_type [= default]"

However, this works fine:

class Name:
    name: str = ""

    class Inner:
        pass

Are you sure this is a bug? The NamedTuple docs say "docstrings and methods", without a mention of nested classes.

At runtime it does work in 3.9, but in 3.6 the inner class just disappears. I'm not sure that's on purpose. I added runtime support for NamedTuple methods in 3.6 I believe, but perhaps a change since then made nested classes also work.
