Proper placement of test within try/except loop (Python3) - python-3.x

Question

I use a python script to webscrape for "Show Notes" and an mp3. When I encounter a page that has no show notes, this means the show was a Best Of, so I want to skip the download of the notes and mp3. I am not sure where the best place to insert the test would be. The snippet is as follows:
for show_html in showpage_htmls:
try:
p_html = s.get(show_html)
p_soup = BeautifulSoup(p_html.content, 'html.parser')
# set title for SHOW NOTES
title = ''
title = p_soup.title.contents[0]
# get SHOW NOTES chunk and remove unwanted characters (original mp3notes not changed)
mp3notes = ''
mp3notes = p_soup.find('div', {'class': 'module-text'}).find('div')
mp3notes = str(title) + str('\n') + str(mp3notes).replace('<div>','').replace('<h2>','').replace('</h2>','\n').replace('<p>','').replace('<br/>\n','\n').replace('<br/>','\n').replace('</p>','').replace('</div>','').replace('\u2032','')
# FIXME need to skip d/l if no notes
# set basename, mp3named and mp3showtxt
mp3basename = '{0}{1}{2}'.format(show_html.split('/')[3],show_html.split('/')[4],show_html.split('/')[5])
if (os.name == 'nt'):
mp3showtxt = mp3dir + '\\' + mp3basename + '.txt'
mp3named = mp3dir + '\\' + mp3basename + '.mp3'
else:
mp3showtxt = mp3dir + '/' + mp3basename + '.txt'
mp3named = mp3dir + '/' + mp3basename + '.mp3'
# save show notes to local
with open(mp3showtxt, 'w') as f:
try:
f.write(mp3notes)
print("Show notes " + mp3basename + " saved.")
except UnicodeEncodeError:
print("A charmap encoding ERROR occurred.")
print("Show notes for " + mp3basename + ".mp3 FAILED, but continuing")
finally:
f.close()
# FIXME need eyed3 to set mp3 tags since B&T are lazy
# get Full Show mp3 link
mp3url = p_soup.find('a', href = True, string = 'Full Show').get('href')
# get and save mp3
r = requests.get(mp3url)
with open(mp3named, 'wb') as f:
f.write(r.content)
print("Downloaded " + mp3basename + ".mp3.")
except AttributeError:
print(show_html + " did not exist as named.")
I would think an
if not (len(mp3notes) >= 50)
would work; just not sure where to put it or there is better way (more Pythonic).
Ideally, if the mp3notes are less than expected, no notes or mp3 for that show_html would be saved, and the script would start at the next show_html page.
Since I am new to Python, feel free to offer suggestions to making this more Pythonic as well; I am here to learn! Thanks.
