[Python-Dev] exception chaining (original) (raw)

Since 'raise' means 're-raise the current error', 'raise as OtherError' means (clearly to me, anyway) 're-raise the current error as OtherError'. This is just what you want to be able to say. Since 'raise' without a current error results in a TypeError, so should 'raise as OtherError'. I would just go with this as the proposal.
