while True:
    try:
        run_script()  # May raise TryAgain
        break
    except TryAgain:
        pass


If you prefer to only retry a finite number of times:


for i in range(10):
    try:
        run_script()  # May raise TryAgain
        break
    except TryAgain:
        pass
else:
    # break skips past the for...else block
    raise GiveUpError('too many failures')
