-Exception Handling
-------------------
-
-Avoid finally: blocks in favor of explict catches because a throw
-from a finally block will lose any pending exception.  An explicit
-catch can chain it (see below).
-
-To behave similarly under Python 2 and 3, use add_ex_tb() to
-explicitly add stack traces to any exceptions that are going to be
-re-raised by anything other than a no-argument raise (otherwise the
-stack trace will be lost)::
-
-
-  try:
-      ...
-  except ... as ex:
-      add_ex_tb(ex)
-      pending_ex = ex
-  ...
-  raise pending_ex
-
-If an exception is thrown from an exception handler, the pending
-exception should be "chained" to the new exception as the context.
-This can be accomplished via ``chain_ex()``::
-
-  try:
-      ...
-  except ... as ex:
-      add_ex_tb(ex)
-      try:
-          ...
-      except ... as ex2:
-          add_ex_tb(ex2)
-          raise chain_ex(ex2, ex)
