Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

it marks the class inheriting it as an abstract class – an interface of sorts. An ABC would have abstract methods, decorated with @abstractmethod. These methods usually don't contain any code, but are basically markers that inheriting classes need to implement these methods in order to provide a complete working implementation of that interface.

they aren't "code stores"

they define an interface for other classes to implement

I wasn't in the original discussion, so can you summarize your original use case for me?

[slate spruce]

doesn't sound like ABCs are warranted there; an inherited class for the special use case maybe?
