Changing the error message to provide more useful information, possibly including the original traceback, would certainly avoid the potential for incompatibility. I'd be interested in seeing what other folks here on python-dev think.

Without looking at the details, my question is whether this can be ignored in 2.x and fixed for 3.x by setting cause appropriately (i.e. by using the "raise from" syntax).

Cheers, Nick.
