1) Do nothing and be happy I use 'raise ... from None' in my own libraries

2) Change the wording of 'During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred' (no ideas as to what at the moment) The word "occurred" misleads one to think that, during handling of the real exception, an unrelated and unintended exception occurred. This is not the case when the "raise" keyword is used. In that case, the exception was intentionally converted from one type to another. For the "raise" case a wording like the following might work better: The above exception was converted to the following exception: ... That makes it clear that the conversion was explicit and (hopefully) intentional, and that the latter exception supersedes the former.

How do you distinguish intentional and unintentional exceptions?
