# # Example Rendered

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.

This can have multiple paragraphs.

You may include some math:

And even use a Greek symbol like inline.

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
