[Python-ideas] The prohibition overrides the class method

[Ryan Gonzalez]

You could always put this in the docstring:

DO NOT OVERRIDE THIS METHOD. IF YOU OVERRIDE THIS METHOD, YOU WILL DIE.


Short, the-the-point, and evokes fear.

...

Seriously, though, I personally think this might go well with the whole PEP 484 type-annotation thing. I mean, if there are already generics and abstract methods. If we're going for static typing, adding final would fit well. Something like:

@finalmethod
def whatever(self): ...

The type checker (in this case, Mypy) would check it, but there would be no runtime effect.
