I wouldn't try this with recursive macro use.  I imagine that the main 
reason you tried to do it that way is to automatically get all of your 
variables available in the recursive part.  You'll probably have to give up 
on this and pass the data you need explicitly in recursive 
tal:replace="structure python:here.foo(v=v)" type calls.
