If this is just for playing inside the interpreter, just ignore the 
exception.
Or comment out all lines from 25 to end of script, some editors (including 
IDLE) have support for that.
Or use a giant """
string
""" if you can.
If you invoke your script with `python -i your_script.py` Python will show 
the interpreter prompt when your script finishes (either normally or raising 
an exception).
