Your description is difficult to understand, but I guss that you mean to
catch the error from the main program.
In reality sys.exit raises the SystemExit exception, so you can catch this
one. Or any other exception that you use instead.

E.g. 

me = funkyclass()
try:
  execfile('destination.py')
except SystemExit, e:
  print e
print "execfile finished"

And it should be class funkyclass, not def.
