File src/osmo_gsm_tester/bts.py:

Line 26: class Bts(log.Origin, metaclass=ABCMeta):
> could you explain ABCMeta? What does it help us with?
https://docs.python.org/3/library/abc.html

It helps us specifying in the code a more clear inheritance structure, which 
becomes important as we add more and more BTS types.
For instance, if a method is marked as abstract and you try to instantiate a 
class which doesn't override the method, python will fail with a clear error. 
This is good in case we want to change some API, this way we make sure all 
subclasses are also updated.
It also helps to quickly spot abstract methods in a base class and then known 
which ones I need to implement when creating a new subclass.


Line 45: # PUBLIC - INTERNAL API
> what now, public or internal? I don't really like these huge comments, I gu
The info can get into the doc, but having these blocks clealry helps me find 
quickly which methods of the class are expected to be available in each context.
The comment block states the methods in there are public, since we want to call 
them from outside the class, but still they are for now not intended for use by 
tests, only by our internal classes.
