You are absolutely right :)

Updated code:

#!/home/jmills/bin/python -i

class Node(object):

   def __init__(self, value, prev=None, next=None):
      self.value = value
      self.prev = prev
      self.next = next

class List(object):

   def __init__(self, *seq):
      if seq:
         first = prev = node = None
         for x in seq:
            if not first:
               first = Node(x)
               prev = node = first
            else:
               node = Node(x, prev)
               prev.next = node
               prev = node

         self.data = first
      else:
         self.data = None

   def __getitem__(self, x):
      node = self.data
      for i in xrange(x):
         node = node.next
      return node.value

x = List(0, 1, 2, 3)

cheers
