You left off what I think is the best behavior, from Python 3:

You mean the "__context__" attribute of the exception? Java also allows one to get the suppressed exception via "Throwable.getSuppressed" method. But python3 suppresses the original exception, while java does the opposite, so I'm ok to count it as a separate option (#4). Thanks.
I prefer #2 because suppressing exception is a really bad idea. What is your choice?
#4.
Is it common for python3 code to be prepared to handle __context__? I guess most developers just ignore it. So probably #1 is better?
