python - Making an overridden abstract method in a subclass "private" -

say have abstract base class, , subclass abstract:

class daemon(object)::     __metaclass__ = abc.abcmeta      def __init__(self, pid_file):         ...      @abc.abstractmethod     def run(self):         return   class worker(daemon):     __metaclass__ = abc.abcmeta      def __init__(self):         ...      def run(self):         # stuff         self.process()      @abc.abstractmethod     def process(self):         """         override method when subclassing worker.         """         return 

when other developers build new actual "working" worker sub-classes, i'd make clear shouldn't mess run method. if use __run hints method private, i'm creating private abstract method in daemon, bit confusing. seems odd have protected using _run because don't want worker sub-classes mess it. realize private , protected names useful conventions in python, want make clear others how build new worker sub-classes.

is there pythonic convention follow in case? or matter of making documentation clear?

you can enforce non-redeclared type of method, although it's hackish : python: enforce class method called within class method?
