[issue5867] No way to create an abstract classmethod

[Matteo Dell'Amico]

New submission from Matteo Dell'Amico <della at linux.it>:

Is there a way to define an abstract classmethod? The two obvious ways
don't seem to work properly.

>>> import abc
>>> class C(metaclass=abc.ABCMeta):
...     @abc.abstractmethod
...     @classmethod
...     def f(cls): print(42)
... 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "/usr/lib/python3.0/abc.py", line 24, in abstractmethod

... 
>>> D.f()
42
