+"""
+A pure Python implementation of the insertion sort algorithm
+
+This algorithm sorts a collection by comparing adjacent elements.
+When it finds that order is not respected, it moves the element compared
+backward until the order is correct.  It then goes back directly to the
+element's initial position resuming forward comparison.
+
+For doctests run following command:
+python3 -m doctest -v insertion_sort.py
+
+For manual testing run:
+python3 insertion_sort.py
