How about calling the entire program in a module and putting the call to it
inside a try/except block?  Then you can have your cleanup code in a
finally block at the end of all that.

Exceptions are meant to be caught.  I think what you're asking is "is there
any way to make Python ignore any bad stuff and keep running my program?"
The answer is yes: catch your exceptions.
