Specifying an abstract class method?

Question

Python

Does it make sense to use the @abstractmethod decorator on a base class if using raise NotImplementedError essentially makes that method abstract anyway?
Although it is possible that this is just PyCharm being too smart and based on raise it defines this method as abstract

Answer 1

Yes, this paycharm is smart. Runtime without the @abstractmethod decorator will not tell you that something is wrong with you.
