There are enough typos in your example that I'm guessing you actually saw:

  class BusinessBO :
      def __init__(self):
          #write you own code here
          pass
      def businessMethod(self):
          #write you own code here
          pass


"pass" is the Python way to say "Yes, I know there should be code
here, but I don't want any."  It is required in this context because a
"def" cannot be totally empty.
