A skip list container class in Python

The code for pyskip.py follows in literate programming style. The author is indebted to his colleague Dr. Allan M. Stavely for literate programming tools.

The development uses the Cleanroom or “zero-defect” methodology described in Dr. Stavely's book Toward Zero-Defect Programming (Addison-Wesley, 1999, ISBN 0-201-38595-3). The author's commenting conventions and other adaptations for Python practice are described online.
