Actually __init__ is not the constructor, which is __new__ (much less used), but the initialiser. If you try to do their work using other names, it may not work as expected because python does some magic in the background. Still, if you really know what you're doing it's possible for some of these special methods, while not for __new__ I guess. Anyway, it's maybe a bad idea cause conventional names help and understand the code.
