In the interpreter, after an indented group (such as your except IOError
block), you have to enter a blank line, THEN enter the 2nd print statement:
>>> try:
... fsock = open('/notthere')
... except IOError:
... print 'The file does not exist, exiting gracefully'
...
The file does not exist, exiting gracefully
>>> print 'This line will always print'
This line will always print
>>>
(Note the empty ellipsis, indicating a line with no more indention.)
