Side question: Any reason why you'd raise the exception from __new__
rather than __init__? If you want to return None, then yeah I can see why you'd have to use __new__, but would there be any reason you can't
or shouldn't simply raise an exception from __init__?

Because by the  time you get to init you have already created
the instance. If you really want to avoid creating an instance it
needs to be in new.
