+    The ``__supress_context__`` attribute to suppress automatic display of the
+    exception context
+
+The :const:`from None` clause can be used to suppress the old exception with
+the new one for display purposes. This will set the
+:attr:`__suppress_context__` attribute to :const:`True` while leaving the old
+exception available in :attr:`__context__` for introspection when debugging::
+
+   >>> try:
+   ...     print(1 / 0)
+   ... except:
+   ...     raise RuntimeError("Something bad happened") from None
+   ...
+   Traceback (most recent call last):

+   RuntimeError: Something bad happened

 A similar mechanism works implicitly if an exception is raised inside an
 exception handler: the previous exception is then attached as the new
 exception's :attr:`__context__` attribute::
