Personally I try to get the menu function to return the value selected
that way the meniu options and the code to check it is all wrapped
up in the same  place.
But that is only a side issue...

You need to use try: before an except.

So if you start your while loop body with a try

while menu_choice != 5:
   try:
      menu_choice = input(...)
      if menu_choice == 1:
        etc...
   except NameError, TypeError:
         # handle error here
        break  # only if you really need to..
   print_menu()
