Pass is usually helpful when you are writing code to design a game or something of that type , now as you proceed with the code , you would realize that , there are some functions you don't want to move ahead and want to leave it untouched and move further on with the code and then revisit the function later , but as you do so , the compiler would obviously thrown an error saying it isn't either recognized and all sorts of other things!! In this condition you use pass so that the compiler would simply neglect the function and move further on with the code !!

例如:

if __name__ = "__main__":
pass
print("Hello World!")

在这里，编译器将忽略if name部分，并按照指示打印Hello World !!

谢谢!

Python在语法上要求代码块(在if, except, def, class等之后)不能为空。然而，空代码块在各种不同的上下文中都很有用，比如下面的例子，这是我见过的最常见的用例。

因此，如果在代码块中不希望发生任何事情，则需要一个传递以使该代码块不产生IndentationError。或者，任何语句(包括一个要求值的项，如Ellipsis字面量…)可以使用字符串(通常是docstring)，但该传递清楚地表明，实际上不应该发生任何事情，也不需要实际计算并(至少暂时)存储在内存中。

Ignoring (all or) a certain type of Exception (example from xml): try: self.version = "Expat %d.%d.%d" % expat.version_info except AttributeError: pass # unknown Note: Ignoring all types of raises, as in the following example from pandas, is generally considered bad practice, because it also catches exceptions that should probably be passed on to the caller, e.g. KeyboardInterrupt or SystemExit (or even HardwareIsOnFireError – How do you know you aren't running on a custom box with specific errors defined, which some calling application would want to know about?). try: os.unlink(filename_larry) except: pass Instead using at least except Error: or in this case preferably except OSError: is considered much better practice. A quick analysis of all Python modules I have installed gave me that more than 10% of all except ...: pass statements catch all exceptions, so it's still a frequent pattern in Python programming. Deriving an exception class that does not add new behaviour (e.g., in SciPy): class CompileError(Exception): pass Similarly, classes intended as abstract base class often have an explicit empty __init__ or other methods that subclasses are supposed to derive (e.g., pebl): class _BaseSubmittingController(_BaseController): def submit(self, tasks): pass def retrieve(self, deferred_results): pass Testing that code runs properly for a few test values, without caring about the results (from mpmath): for x, error in MDNewton(mp, f, (1,-2), verbose=0, norm=lambda x: norm(x, inf)): pass In class or function definitions, often a docstring is already in place as the obligatory statement to be executed as the only thing in the block. In such cases, the block may contain pass in addition to the docstring in order to say “This is indeed intended to do nothing.”, for example in pebl: class ParsingError(Exception): """Error encountered while parsing an ill-formed datafile.""" pass In some cases, pass is used as a placeholder to say “This method/class/if-block/... has not been implemented yet, but this will be the place to do it”, although I personally prefer the Ellipsis literal ... in order to strictly differentiate between this and the intentional “no-op” in the previous example. (Note that the Ellipsis literal is a valid expression only in Python 3) For example, if I write a model in broad strokes, I might write def update_agent(agent): ... where others might have def update_agent(agent): pass before def time_step(agents): for agent in agents: update_agent(agent) as a reminder to fill in the update_agent function at a later point, but run some tests already to see if the rest of the code behaves as intended. (A third option for this case is raise NotImplementedError. This is useful in particular for two cases: Either “This abstract method should be implemented by every subclass, and there isn't a generic way to define it in this base class”, or “This function, with this name, is not yet implemented in this release, but this is what its signature will look like”)

pass用于避免Python中的缩进错误。

如果我们以C、c++和Java等语言为例，它们有这样的大括号:

 if(i==0)
 {}
 else
 {//some code}

但是在Python中，我们使用缩进代替大括号，所以为了避免这样的错误，我们使用pass。

记得你在做测验的时候

if(dont_know_the_answer)
    pass

示例程序,

for letter in 'geeksforgeeks':
    pass
print 'Last letter: ', letter

在Python中，pass语句用于在语法上需要语句，但不希望执行任何命令或代码的情况。

pass语句是一个空操作;执行时什么也不发生。pass在你的代码最终要去的地方也很有用，但还没有写出来(例如，在存根中):

例子:

#!/usr/bin/python

for letter in 'Python':
   if letter == 'h':
      pass
      print 'This is pass block'
   print 'Current Letter :', letter

print "Good bye!"

这将产生以下结果:

Current Letter : P
Current Letter : y
Current Letter : t
This is pass block
Current Letter : h
Current Letter : o
Current Letter : n
Good bye!

如果字母的值是'h'，上面的代码不会执行任何语句或代码。当您创建了一个代码块时，pass语句很有用，但不再需要它。

然后，您可以删除块中的语句，但让块保留pass语句，这样它就不会干扰代码的其他部分。

正如书中所说，我只把它用作临时占位符，也就是说，

# code that does something to to a variable, var
if var == 2000:
    pass
else:
    var += 1

然后填充var == 2000的场景。
