recursive methods require implementing a stack?

[Charles T. Smith]

I just tried to write a recursive method in python - am I right that local
variables are only lexically local scoped, so sub-instances have the same
ones?  Is there a way out of that?  Do I have to push and pop my own simulated
stack frame entry?
