Issue 23188 (referenced above) covers making this a public API for 3.7. I think it's a good idea, but it's too late to add it to 3.6, and getting the documentation right is going to require some discussion (as using this new API isn't necessary if you're already in a Python exception handler and are directly or indirectly calling PyErr_SetObject, but is necessary if you're wanting to chain with a just set C level exception).
