If you want to embed the interactive interpreter at any point in your
program, you can do this

import code
code.interact()

I'm not sure I understand. How is this related to your original question?
In any case, you want to catch exceptions and do something, the patter
is something like this

try:
  # Your code
except Exception,m:
  # Your custom message and action
