In Python, how do I indicate I’m overriding a method?

In Java, for example, the @Override annotation not only provides compile-time checking of an override but makes for excellent self-documenting code.

I’m just looking for documentation (although if it’s an indicator to some checker like pylint, that’s a bonus). I can add a comment or docstring somewhere, but what is the idiomatic way to indicate an override in Python?
