raise ... from ... is not disallowed outside a try block, but this behavior is not guaranteed to remain.

I'd leave it out - the original PEP didn't disallow it, enforcing it would be annoying, and it's easy enough to pick up if you happen to happen to care (it will mean cause is set along with __context == None).

Cheers, Nick.
