Type hinting - return type based on parameter

[micseydel]

I've had the pleasure of writing some Python at work recently, but I was stumped by something. I want something like this:

def get_from_dict(d: dict, key: str, value_type = int) -> type(value_type):
    value = d.get(key)
    if value is None:
        raise RuntimeError(f"Tried to fetch {key} from dictionary {d} but dictionary did not have the key.")

    return value_type(value)

My workaround was to hard-code it as int because that's my use case, but while I was writing the code, I wanted to make it more generic. I doubt this is possible, at least in the current state of Python's type hinting, but does anyone happen to have any ideas?
