How to return an uninstantiated class?

my example

class Main:
    @classmethod
    def foo(cls) -> bool:
        return True


class Base(metaclass=ABCMeta):
    @classmethod
    @abstractmethod
    def get_test(cls) -> Main:
        return ...


class TestMain(Main):
    ...


class TestBase(Base):
    @classmethod
    def get_test(cls) -> ???:   # <------ How to write here?
        return TestMain

    @classmethod
    def run(cls) -> bool:
        return cls.get_test().foo()

Pycharm will throw a warning

I want to solve this problem but I don't know how to do it, please help me.

Thanks.

The following should do the trick if a class is returned statically:

def get_test(cls) -> type[TestMain]:
    return TestMain
