An abstract class is a class that contains one or more abstract methods (a method that is declared but contains no implementation). Python on its own doesn't provide abstract classes. Yet, Python comes with a module which provides the infrastructure for defining Abstract Base Classes (ABCs). This module is called abc.
Example
To define an abstract class AbstractClassExample:
from abc import ABC, abstractmethodclass AbstractClassExample(ABC): def __init__(self, value): self.value = value super().__init__()
@abstractmethod def do_something(self): pass
If the class that inherits this abstract base does not provide the concrete implementation of do_something, then we get an error.
