What you're writing is this:
try:
os.system("cls")
except:
print "Foo"
print "Bar"
Which is wrong! Here's the correct way:
try:
os.system("cls")
except:
print "Foo"
print "Bar"
Note the indentation for "try:" and "except:"? They most be on the same
level. This is how exception handling is done in Python.
By the way, the last "print" statement, I didn't know if you want it to
be printed all the time (like what I wrote it above) or just when
there's an exception.
