Are there abstract classes in Python?

Question

I’m a beginner in Python and would like to know if there are abstract classes and methods in Python, if there is someone can give me an example? When I studied Java there were these classes to create a "model" and they were not instantiable.

Answer 1

Yes you have, following the documentation here from ABC need to import ABC to create an abstract class:

from abc import ABC

class ClasseAbstrata(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def abstract_method(self)

In this case, the ABC module is like "an abstract class to create abstract classes"

To inherit from that class:

  class ClasseDerivada(ClasseAbstrata):
     def abstract_method(self):
          print 'metodo na classe derivada'
