Gaussian fit for Python

I’m trying to fit a Gaussian for my data (which is already a rough gaussian). I’ve already taken the advice of those here and tried curve_fit and leastsq but I think that I’m missing something more fundamental (in that I have no idea how to use the command).

How to skip iterations in a loop?

I have a loop going, but there is the possibility for exceptions to be raised inside the loop. This of course would stop my program all together.
