How to create abstract properties in python abstract classes?

Question

In the following code, I create a base abstract class Base. I want all the classes that inherit from Base to provide the name property, so I made this property an @abstractmethod.

Then I created a subclass of Base, called Base_1, which is meant to supply some functionality, but still remain abstract. There is no name property in Base_1, but nevertheless python instatinates an object of that class without an error. How does one create abstract properties?

from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod

class Base(object):
# class Base(metaclass = ABCMeta): <- Python 3
    __metaclass__ = ABCMeta
    def __init__(self, str_dir_config):
        self.str_dir_config = str_dir_config
    
    @abstractmethod
    def _do_stuff(self, signals):
        pass
    
    @property    
    @abstractmethod
    def name(self):
        """This property will be supplied by the inheriting classes
        individually.
        """
        pass
    

class Base1(Base):
    __metaclass__ = ABCMeta
    """This class does not provide the name property and should
    raise an error.
    """
    def __init__(self, str_dir_config):
        super(Base1, self).__init__(str_dir_config)
        # super().__init__(str_dir_config) <- Python 3
    
    def _do_stuff(self, signals):
        print "Base_1 does stuff"
        # print("Base_1 does stuff") <- Python 3

class C(Base1):
    @property
    def name(self):
        return "class C"
    

if __name__ == "__main__":
    b1 = Base1("abc")

Since Python 3.3 a bug was fixed meaning the property() decorator is now correctly identified as abstract when applied to an abstract method.

Note: Order matters, you have to use @property above @abstractmethod

Python 3.3+: (python docs):

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class C(ABC):
    @property
    @abstractmethod
    def my_abstract_property(self):
        ...

Python 2: (python docs)

from abc import ABCMeta, abstractproperty

class C:
    __metaclass__ = ABCMeta

    @abstractproperty
    def my_abstract_property(self):
        ...
