Asuming the userdefined exception MyException is defined in myfile:

import myfile

obj = # your initialization code

try:
    obj.methodThatFails()
except myfile.MyException:
   print "something went wrong in an organized manner"

I am doubting if that is what you want, though. Maybe you could post some
code and the traceback?
