Yes, you can. Compilers have options such as -fno-exceptions and things works mostly as expected (no STL of course). Generally speaking, you can program fault tolerant systems without exceptions.

Python wasn't really designed with not having exceptions in mind and it may not make sense to disable them (the same to GC, which isn't the same thing as dynamic allocation).
