If your use case is to make sure a given ('abstract') method has been
overriden, the canonical solution is to raise NotImplementedError in the
base class's implementation, ie:
class Parent(object):
def method(self):
raise NotImplementedError
class GoodGirl(Parent):
def method(self):
print "I'm a good girl"
class BadBoy(Parent):
pass
Else, this may be possible using a custom metaclass (or possibly just
specializing the __new__ method), but there may be better solutions
(depending on what you're really trying to do)..
