def module_level_function(param1, param2=None, *args, **kwargs):
    """This is an example of a module level function.

    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 \\*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. The "(type)" is optional.

            Multiple paragraphs are supported in parameter
            descriptions.

    Args:
        param1 (int): The first parameter.
        param2 (:obj:`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.

        The ``Returns`` section supports any reStructuredText formatting,
        including literal blocks::

            {
                'param1': param1,
                'param2': param2
            }

    Raises:
        AttributeError: The ``Raises`` section is a list of all exceptions
            that are relevant to the interface.
        ValueError: If `param2` is equal to `param1`.

    """
    if param1 == param2:
        raise ValueError('param1 may not be equal to param2')
    return True
