What if we allowed this to be implied and except/else blocks bound to
the previous
statement? A try block would be an optional form, and mostly left for
multi-block try's
r = some_single_statement()
except TypeError:
   print "oh no!"
   raise OhNoException()
else:
   p = prepare(r)
   print "I got", p
Saving one line and four non-whitespace characters?
-1 from me.
Just the characters, since the single statement could be put on the same line as the try:

    try: r = some_single_statement()
    except TypeError:
        print "oh no!"
        raise OhNoException()

    p = prepare(r)
    print "I got", p
