Python 3.7+: I'm trying to define an ABC with an abstract method:
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class A(ABC):
@abstractmethod
def f(self, x, **kwargs):
pass
I would like to define, in subclasses, the specific parameters each subclass supports explicitly:
class B(A):
def f(self, x, y):
print(x, y)
B().f("hello", "world") seems to work, but PyCharm complains with Signature of method 'B.f()' does not match signature of the base method in class 'A' and I haven't dared to test it with flake or mypy.
Am I abusing the language? Is there a better way to do it, apart from passing **kwargs unchanged? I wanted something defined in a more fixed, explicit way, like standard parameters and :param: in documentation, instead of describing to the users the parameters as strings and looking them up through string from **kwargs.
