This is simple to implement, but requires changing the function

leave it as:
def f(n):
if n > 0: return n*f(n-1)
elif n==0: return 1
(like a normal, recursive function), and make the 'f' inside the function
body "magically" refer to the function itself.
Someone did this several years ago with a bytecode hack. I believe it
was in the cookbook. It was rejected as part of standard CPython.
