One way to reduce the amount of boilerplate code is to make abstractmethod
to supply raise NotImplementedError body when none is given. Then you can
write
class Foo:
@abc.abstractmethod
def do_bar(self):
"""perform bar"""
instead of
class Foo:
@abc.abstractmethod
def do_bar(self):
"""perform bar"""
raise NotImplementedError
The docstring will be required when skipping the body which is probably a
good thing.
