"""Example Google style docstrings.
This module demonstrates documentation as specified by the `Google Python
Style Guide`_. Docstrings may extend over multiple lines. Sections are created
with a section header and a colon followed by a block of indented text.
Example:
Examples can be given using either the ``Example`` or ``Examples``
sections. Sections support any reStructuredText formatting, including
literal blocks::
$ python example_google.py
Section breaks are created by simply resuming unindented text. Section breaks
are also implicitly created anytime a new section starts.
Attributes:
module_level_variable (int): Module level variables may be documented in
either the ``Attributes`` section of the module docstring, or in an
inline docstring immediately following the variable.
Either form is acceptable, but the two should not be mixed. Choose
one convention to document module level variables and be consistent
with it.

Function parameters should be documented in the ``Args`` section. The name
of each parameter is required. The type and description of each parameter
is optional, but should be included if not obvious.
If the parameter itself is optional, it should be noted by adding
", optional" to the type. If \*args or \*\*kwargs are accepted, they
should be listed as \*args and \*\*kwargs.
The format for a parameter is::
name (type): description
The description may span multiple lines. Following
lines should be indented.
Multiple paragraphs are supported in parameter
descriptions.
Args:
param1 (int): The first parameter.
param2 (str, optional): The second parameter. Defaults to None.
Second line of description should be indented.
*args: Variable length argument list.
**kwargs: Arbitrary keyword arguments.
Returns:
bool: True if successful, False otherwise.
The return type is optional and may be specified at the beginning of
the ``Returns`` section followed by a colon.
The ``Returns`` section may span multiple lines and paragraphs.
Following lines should be indented to match the first line.
