Creating an anonymous, in-place subclass? /u/pachura3 Python Education

Let’s consider this abstract base class and its subclass, implementing an abstract method:

class MyBaseClass(ABC): @abstractmethod def do_it(self): pass class MySubClass(MyBaseClass): def do_it(self): print("I'm doing it now.") 

Let’s say I will only use MySubClass once and I don’t want to declare it as a class, but rather create it ad-hoc, inline, as an anonymous class. Is it possible in Python? In Java it would work like this:

MyBaseClass anon = new MyBaseClass() { @Override public void do_it() { System.out.println("I'm doing it now."); } }; anon.do_it();
