Can I make instance methods not callable as static methods?

I have a @asynccontextmanager method named opened() that is an instance method of a class File. Sometimes I call it using a class by mistake like so File.opened(). It then fails because the object is not initialized (e.g. name) with an error that does not really express the problem.




AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'opened'




Is there a way to prevent this?



Example



class File: 
def __init__(self, file_name):
self.file_name = file_name

@asynccontextmanager
async def opened(self):
open(self.file_name)
# do other things


This should be OK:



file = File('input.csv')
async with file.opened() as file_handle:
#do stuff


But his should yield an error telling me that I can't use a instance method without creating an object first:



async with File.opened() as file_handle:
# does not work, and should not be allowed

          You can check if self is an instance of File so that you can raise an exception with a friendlier error message:



          @asynccontextmanager
          async def opened(self):
          if not isinstance(self, File):
          raise RuntimeError('opened() must be called as a method bound to a File instance.')
          open(self.file_name)
