Oddly enough, that one does not suppress the original exception. Instead it adds a new one to the chain:
>>> z = 0
>>> def f():
... try:
... x = 1/z
... finally:
... raise NameError()
...
>>> f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
NameError
