Question
Is it possible to return a value from the __init__() method in a class?
Answer
The __init__() method should either have no return statement at all (the most common and preferred usage) or it may have a return statement that returns the value None. If the method attempts to return a value other than None, Python will report the error “TypeError: __init__() should return None”. If the method needs to report an error condition, then an exception should be raised.
