An alternative to pass is raise NotImplementedError This has the advantage/disadvantage of providing a meaningful exception when you start testing and forget to provide some processing logic for a stub function. pass will simply return None when used for a function body. I nearly always use the NotImplementedError exception now in my code as the place holder.
