This may be an issue with the interpreter behavior or it may be a documentation issue.

Note: I only selected Python 3.3 as the version, but it probably affects MANY other Python versions.

Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 01:25:11) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

>>> import abc
>>> help(abc.abstractclassmethod)
Help on class abstractclassmethod in module abc:

class abstractclassmethod(builtins.classmethod)
 |  A decorator indicating abstract classmethods.
 |  
 |  Similar to abstractmethod.
 |  
 |  Usage:
 |  
 |      class C(metaclass=ABCMeta):
 |          @abstractclassmethod
 |          def my_abstract_classmethod(cls, ...):
 |              ...
 |  
 |  'abstractclassmethod' is deprecated. Use 'classmethod' with
 |  'abstractmethod' instead.
. (et cetra)

Hopefully this is enough documentation to show what the issues is.  If not, just chime in.  :-)
