In the following code, I create a base abstract class Base. I want all the classes that inherit from Base to provide the name property, so I made this property an @abstractmethod.
Then I created a subclass of Base, called Base_1, which is meant to supply some functionality, but still remain abstract. There is no name property in Base_1, but nevertheless python instatinates an object of that class without an error. How does one create abstract properties?
from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
class Base(object):
__metaclass__ = ABCMeta
def __init__(self, strDirConfig):
self.strDirConfig = strDirConfig
@abstractmethod
def _doStuff(self, signals):
pass
@property
@abstractmethod
def name(self):
# this property will be supplied by the inheriting classes
# individually
pass
class Base_1(Base):
__metaclass__ = ABCMeta
# this class does not provide the name property, should raise an error
def __init__(self, strDirConfig):
super(Base_1, self).__init__(strDirConfig)
def _doStuff(self, signals):
print 'Base_1 does stuff'
class C(Base_1):
@property
def name(self):
return 'class C'
if __name__ == '__main__':
b1 = Base_1('abc')
