Honestly, I think the official Python docs describe it quite well and provide some examples:

The pass statement does nothing. It can be used when a statement is required syntactically but the program requires no action. For example:

>>> while True: ... pass # Busy-wait for keyboard interrupt (Ctrl+C) ...

This is commonly used for creating minimal classes:

>>> class MyEmptyClass: ... pass ...

Another place pass can be used is as a place-holder for a function or conditional body when you are working on new code, allowing you to keep thinking at a more abstract level. The pass is silently ignored:

>>> def initlog(*args): ... pass # Remember to implement this! ...
