TypeError: Parameter list cannot be empty for TypeVarTuple #322

Description

@EmmanuelMess

There is a problem with typing_extensions that doesn't happen with typing. Running the program with python3.11 works, but with python3.10 with typing_extensions throws:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".../main.py", line 48, in <module>
    main()
  File ".../main.py", line 40, in main
    signal: Signal[()] = Signal[()]()

    return func(*args, **kwds)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/typing.py", line 1328, in __class_getitem__
    raise TypeError(

from typing_extensions import Callable, TypeVarTuple, Generic, Unpack, List, TypeVar
