Let's say, and this is not my real need but a very clear example, I
want to write an abbreviation that converts, when writing python code:

class

into

class (object):

But I only want that to works when string "class" is being printed at
the beginning of a line.
I don't want the replacement to happen when I am writing the docstring
like "This is a class that does this and that".

Is it possible?

You can use something like this

   iabbrev <expr> class getline('.') ==# 'class' ? 'class (object):' : 'class'

The key moment here is "<expr>".  The expression

   getline('.') ==# 'class' ? 'class (object):' : 'class'

will be evaluated to obtain replacement string. You can make it more accurate by comparison only with the part before the cursor position.
