Don't guess, test.

Write a single line script

raw_input('> ')

Run it in a console.
Hit Ctrl-C while it waits for input.
See what the stack trace says is the exception
Edit your script

try:
  raw_input('> ')
except <whatever e3xception you saw previously>:
  print "I got it that time!"

run the new script.
Did it work? Hooray! Transfer to the main script.
If not come back here armed with tracebacks...
