Sorry but that's simply wrong. Python methods can return false or null as much as PHP methods can. It might be a lot more _common_ to use exceptions but there are options. And the exception part is the one I don't like about Python anyway ;-)
Still a ctor cannot return a value.
Supporting this, if you look through the Python standard library you will see that exceptions are the employed method for handling constructor failures.
