What do you mean by 'indicate'? Writing it to the docstring of the
class/method? Writing a comment?
class Foo:
"""
When inheriting from Foo, method foo must be
overridden. Otherwise SPAM.
"""
def foo(self):
print 'bar'
class Bar(Foo):
def __init__(self):
Foo.__init__(self)
# Has to be defined to override the base class's method
# when inheriting from class Foo. Otherwise: SPAM
def foo(self):
print 'foo'
I don't know any other way.
