python enforcing class variables in subclass

class Foo:

    page_name = None
    author = None

    def __init_subclass__(cls, **kwargs):
        for required in ('page_name', 'author',):
            if not getattr(cls, required):
                raise TypeError(f"Can't instantiate abstract class {cls.__name__} without {required} attribute defined")
        return super().__init_subclass__(**kwargs)


class Bar(Foo):
    page_name = 'New Page'
    author = 'eric'
