from itertools import product
def n_sided_die(n): return xrange(1, n+1)
# make one 3-sided die, one 4-sided die, and one 5-sided die
dice = (n_sided_die(3), n_sided_die(4), n_sided_die(5))
for roll in product(*dice):
print roll

Exceptions (though sometimes necessary) are messy and I'm having a hard
time trying to envision that code being cleaner with them than without
them. If you post the actual code maybe that will help me understand.
