A no-op placeholder; does nothing, used where syntax requires a statement

Python Playground

# Empty class
class NotImplementedYet:
    pass

# Empty function
def todo():
    pass

# Empty conditional branch
x = 10
if x > 0:
    pass  # will handle later
else:
    print("negative")

print(type(NotImplementedYet()))
print(todo())

Output
