• * :class:`abc.abstractproperty` has been deprecated, use :class:`property`
• with :func:`abc.abstractmethod` instead.
• * :class:`abc.abstractclassmethod` has been deprecated, use
• :class:`classmethod` with :func:`abc.abstractmethod` instead.
• * :class:`abc.abstractstaticmethod` has been deprecated, use
• :class:`property` with :func:`abc.abstractmethod` instead.
