True, it doesn't; but if anything else goes wrong, you have the same problem. Python is built around the use of exceptions. So I would just add something around the outside - if you're telling people to download and run this script, tell them that if it doesn't work first time, they should open up a terminal/console and run it from there. That'd cope with any sort of error (including that Python itself isn't installed, which is something you can't fix from within Python).
