I have a Python function that looks like this

def my_function() -> Any:
  from optional_dependency import SomeClass
  # This will fail if `optional_dependency` is not installed, I'm good with that.
  return SomeClass()

I’m not a huge fan of this function, but I’ve inherited it and I can’t break it (just yet). I wonder if there is a better return type than Any.

Pyright complains whether I write

• -> SomeClass
• -> "SomeClass"

And Ruff complains if I write

• -> "SomeClass": # type: ignore

Is there anything that can keep both Pyright and Ruff (and ideally mypy) happy?
