Python cleans-up after itself so I would not worry about that until you are an
expert and need to split hairs. Just get on with learning and writing code.
Look at exceptions (try, except) for this kind of thing -- but it's a basic
part of learning Python anyway.
About the only thing I ever found I could not catch was a segfault (under
Linux) and to get around that I open my main app from a smaller one using the
subprocess module. When the main app crashes (which it does sometime) that
process dies suddenly, but it falls-back to the original script which then
detects the error return code and can continue whatever it needs to do.
