Since Python 3.8, TypedDict has been available from the typing module.

As Python 3.8+ is needed to use mypy (https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/master/setup.py#L12), then it's best for the docs to reflect Python 3.8+ usage.

For previous versions, there's already a disclaimer on the page that explains that typing_extensions must be used: https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/master/docs/source/typed_dict.rst?plain=1#L102-L110

Thanks! Looks like we have a bunch of from typing_extensions import Literal and from typing_extensions import Protocol instances scattered across the docs as well -- want to update those at the same time?

I think this one can be left as-is: the existing message is more concise, and isn't incorrect (you can still import it from typing_extensions on 3.11+)

We should update the error message mypy emits here, but until we do so, we shouldn't change the docs here: this copies exactly the error message mypy emits on the above snippet https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=latest&python=3.12&gist=aab6f1cc25003dd1573cb3d8b8df2396
