class SthingError(Exception):
    def __init__(self, success, msg):




class myclass:
     .........
    def  mymethod(self):
             success=True
             if not validateSthing():
                   msg="sthing failed"
                   return (success,msg)

             dosomeprocessing()
             .....
             if not validateSthingelse():
                   msg="sthingelse  failed"
                   return (success,msg)
             domoreprocessing()
             ....
             return(success,"all validation OK")
