                     sessions(including attached), and not skip choosing
                     anyway

if [[ ! $TERM =~ screen ]]; then
  exec /path/to/the/prompt_tmux.py # flags you prefer
fi

It's likely you've already have similar if but a simple tmux inside. Just replace tmux with the exec command above, and you are ready to go.
