Can I have two init functions in a python class?

I'm porting some geolocation java code from http://janmatuschek.de/LatitudeLongitudeBoundingCoordinates#Java (shown below) to python. It can be initialized using two functions (fromDegrees or fromRadians). I thought I could do something like

class geoLocation:

    _radLat = 0
    _radLong = 0
    _degLat = 0
    _degLong = 0


    def fromDegrees(lat, long):
        #set _radLat, _radLong, _degLat, _degLong

    def fromRadians(lat, long):
        #set _radLat, _radLong, _degLat, _degLong

    ...

But that does not seem optimal since I set the values for _radLat, _radLong, _degLat and _degLong twice. Can I define two init functions? What's the best way to do that?

Thanks
