from future import pass_function

[Michael Hrivnak]

It's not uncommon for "pass" to be referred to as a control statement,
although I see your point that it isn't exerting as much control over
the flow of execution as others.  As further evidence, this doc
categorizes it as a "statement" within "flow control tools":
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/controlflow.html
