The above appears to be more or less identical in effect to: def printSelf(self): print "Idnbr: ", self.idnumber, "Reviews: " for review in self.reviews: review.printSelf() except for spacing and more importantly the second version won't print the gratuitous None value returned by printReviews(). What are you aiming for? If your purpose is to explore/understand lexical scopes, I suggest that you get it right in your head in the context of a simple non-recursive function, then /if necessary/ try to do it in a recursive class method.
