abc.abstractmethod

The popular method to declare an abstract method in Python is to use NotImplentedError exception:

def human_name(self):
    raise NotImplementedError

Though it's pretty popular and even has IDE support (Pycharm consider such method to be abstract) this approach has a downside. You get the error only upon method call, not upon class instantiation.

Use abc to avoid this problem:

from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod
class Service(metaclass=ABCMeta):
    @abstractmethod
    def human_name(self):
        pass

NotImplemented

Remember that NotImplemented is not the same that NotImplementedError. It's not even an exception. It's a special value (like True and False) that has an absolutely different meaning. It should be returned by the binary special methods (e.g. __eq__(), __add__() etc.) so Python tries to reflect operation. If a.__add__(b) returns NotImplemented, Python tries to call b.__radd__.
