How to declare 'self' return in Python method signature

Question

I have this class with method just_test

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def just_test(self, a: int) -> MyClass:
        return self

I'm not able to declare at the method signature that I return the object I'm working on (the -> MyClass part)

I'm getting "Unresolved Reference MyClass" error from PyCharm.

I've also tried -> self at the method signature, but I get the same error.

I'm using python 3.10

At the top of your file put this:

from __future__ import annotations

This will allow the name MyClass to be used inside its implementation.
