[Tutor] Exception handling - syntaxerror?!

Yes :). Compare:

 >>> try:
...   os.system('cls')
... except:
...   print "Foo"
...
Foo
 >>> print "Bar"
Bar

With (what you had):

 >>> try:
...   os.system('cls')
... except:
...   print "Foo"
... print "Bar"
   File "<stdin>", line 5
     print "Bar"
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Subtle, but important difference. You should terminate the try-except 
block (confirm with extra ENTER) before doing more stuff.
