I use something like this:

def main(argv):
  try:
    try:
      do_things()    
      return 0
    finally:
      do_cleanup()
  except:
    log_exception()
    return 1

if __name__=='__main__':
  import sys
  sys.exit(main(sys.argv))

There are a few recipes in the Python CookBook at http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/python/
