How would you get the docstrings in? [...]
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"""
The docstring will be required when skipping the body which is probably a good
thing.
How will abstractmethod know its function has no body?
An abstract method won't have a body (I'm not counting the docstring).
If it _does_ have a body, then it's _not_ an abstract method!
To quote the docs [1]:
Note
Unlike Java abstract methods, these abstract methods may have an implementation.
This implementation can be called via the super() mechanism from the class that
overrides it. This could be useful as an end-point for a super-call in a
framework
that uses cooperative multiple-inheritance.
