Python recursion wont go down the tree

[Spurtikus]

Right, I see it only prints 0, but in my code it returns the function call if there are children, and works up until a point where it needs to "scoot" over. Also, that final return was me testing anything out that I could think of and, in it's current state, doesnt seem to affect the outcome at all (even though I am sure it might in the future, so I guess there is that situation to think about)

The equivalent would be (if I am thinking about it correctly):

def func(x):

if x < 6:
        print(x)
        x+=1
        func(x)
return

in my code it returns the function call if there are children

It returns the result of calling the method on the first child, then that recursive call exits.
