Example code:

code = """
import typing
T = typing.TypeVar("T")
"""
exec(code, {})

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
  File "C:\Python38\lib\typing.py", line 603, in __init__
    def_mod = sys._getframe(1).f_globals['__name__']  # for pickling
KeyError: '__name__'

If this problem with __name__ is not something that needs to be fixed, then I also noticed that the same line in typing.py will also raise when platform doesn't have sys._getframe()
