     raise Exception() from ...

is... well, I am now gleeful --  especially since I went to my fresh 
copy of Python 3.3.0a0 and did this:

--> ...
Ellipsis

--> raise ValueError from ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError

Have I said lately how much I *love* Python?
