Nick Coghlan added the comment:
__new__ is a little weird - it's actually special cased as a staticmethod.
Your questions is still valid, though.
For existing versions, documenting the requirement is the only option.
For future versions, we could conceivably implement a decorate it if it
Ethan Furman added the comment:
Should __prepare__ be special-cased as a classmethod, like __new__ is? Is
there any reason to ever have __prepare__ /not/ be a classmethod?

Class method, not static method (super() breaks if you declare it as a static
method)
