 -----------------

-is already being handled, the new exception's

-exception.  An exception may be handled when an :keyword:`except` or
-:keyword:`finally` clause, or a :keyword:`with` statement, is used.
-
-This implicit exception context can be
-supplemented with an explicit cause by using :keyword:`!from` with

-The expression following :keyword:`from<raise>` must be an exception or ``None``. It
-will be set as :attr:`__cause__` on the raised exception. Setting
-:attr:`__cause__` also implicitly sets the :attr:`__suppress_context__`
-attribute to ``True``, so that using ``raise new_exc from None``
-effectively replaces the old exception with the new one for display
-purposes (e.g. converting :exc:`KeyError` to :exc:`AttributeError`), while
-leaving the old exception available in :attr:`__context__` for introspection
-when debugging.
-
-The default traceback display code shows these chained exceptions in
-addition to the traceback for the exception itself. An explicitly chained
-exception in :attr:`__cause__` is always shown when present. An implicitly
-chained exception in :attr:`__context__` is shown only if :attr:`__cause__`
-is :const:`None` and :attr:`__suppress_context__` is false.

-In either case, the exception itself is always shown after any chained
