Patch attached.  It basically says:

8<--------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:  Because using :keyword:`from` can throw away valuable debugging information, its use with a bare :keyword:`raise` is not supported. If you are trying to do this:

    try:
        some_module.not_here()
    except NameError:
        try:
            backup_module.not_here()
        except NameError:
            raise from None     # suppress context in NameError

do this instead:

    try:
        some_module.not_here()
    except NameError:
        try:
            backup_module.not_here()
        except NameError as exc:
            raise exc from None     # suppress context in NameError
