Not Incrementing

[Victor Subervi]

Hi;
This "pseudo-code" snippet was given to me by Dennis on this list (whose
last name escapes me):

def printTree(allTrees, level=0):
  tree = []
  for aTree in allTrees:
    for name in sorted(aTree.keys()):
      tree.append("%s%s" % ("\t" * level, name))
      printTree(aTree[name], level + 1)
  return tree

The code returns all the categories ("name") just fine. It doesn't, however,
increment level. I know from my tests that printTree is only called twice
(once for each store) and about half a dozen times recursively within one of
those stores. Why doesn't this increment? Full code follows.
TIA,
beno
