PEP 344 proposes adding __traceback__, __context__, and __cause__ attributes to Exception. The primary objection has been that the __traceback__ exception would cause a cycle, which would delay resource release. This objection is now added to the PEP, along with some details about why it is a problem, and why weakrefs aren't a straightforward solution.
