Recursive constructors?

[Stidolph, David]

Of course it is ok to call recursively.  self.bar will contain a different
instance of class foo.  Never had to write this, but shouldn't be any kind
of problem.  Make sure you have initialized the class first of course.

Is it legal for a constructor function to call itself recursively?  I.e.:

class foo:
   def __init__(self, x):
      if (whatever):
         self.bar = foo(y)
