Not directly (well, not that I know of).  But you can always emulate it.

eg:

class Foo(object):
   def __init__(self, init, *args, **kw):
     if init == 'this':
       self._initThis(*args, **kw)
     elif init == 'that':
       self.initThat(*args, **kw)

<shrug>

If you're using inheritance, you'll need to do a little more work inside 
each branch of the if statement.
