"""This is the docstring for the example.py module. Modules names should have short, all-lowercase names. The module name may have underscores if this improves readability. Every module should have a docstring at the very top of the file. The module's docstring may extend over multiple lines. If your docstring does extend over multiple lines, the closing three quotation marks must be on a line by itself, preferably preceded by a blank line. """ import os # standard library imports first # Do NOT import using *, e.g. from numpy import * # # Import the module using # # import numpy # # instead or import individual functions as needed, e.g # # from numpy import array, zeros # # If you prefer the use of abbreviated module names, we suggest the # convention used by NumPy itself:: import numpy as np import matplotlib as mpl import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # These abbreviated names are not to be used in docstrings; users must # be able to paste and execute docstrings after importing only the # numpy module itself, unabbreviated. from my_module import my_func, other_func def foo(var1, var2, long_var_name='hi'): r"""A one-line summary that does not use variable names or the function name. Several sentences providing an extended description. Refer to variables using back-ticks, e.g. `var`. Parameters ---------- var1 : array_like Array_like means all those objects -- lists, nested lists, etc. -- that can be converted to an array. We can also refer to variables like `var1`. var2 : int The type above can either refer to an actual Python type (e.g. ``int``), or describe the type of the variable in more detail, e.g. ``(N,) ndarray`` or ``array_like``. long_var_name : {'hi', 'ho'}, optional Choices in brackets, default first when optional. Returns ------- type Explanation of anonymous return value of type ``type``. describe : type Explanation of return value named `describe`. out : type Explanation of `out`. Other Parameters ---------------- only_seldom_used_keywords : type Explanation common_parameters_listed_above : type Explanation Raises ------ BadException Because you shouldn't have done that. See Also -------- otherfunc : relationship (optional) newfunc : Relationship (optional), which could be fairly long, in which case the line wraps here. thirdfunc, fourthfunc, fifthfunc Notes ----- Notes about the implementation algorithm (if needed). This can have multiple paragraphs. You may include some math: .. math:: X(e^{j\omega } ) = x(n)e^{ - j\omega n} And even use a greek symbol like :math:`omega` inline. References ---------- Cite the relevant literature, e.g. [1]_. You may also cite these references in the notes section above. .. [1] O.

Examples -------- These are written in doctest format, and should illustrate how to use the function. >>> a = [1, 2, 3] >>> print([x + 3 for x in a]) [4, 5, 6] >>> print("a\n\nb") a b """ pass
