If I interpret the above translation correctly, then:
     try:
         BLOCK1
     except EXCEPTION1, VAR1:
         try:
             BLOCK2
         except EXCEPTION2, VAR2:
             HANDLER

with exceptions occuring in BLOCK1, BLOCK2 and HANDLER would result in 
HANDLER's exception with __context__ set to BLOCK1's exception and 
BLOCK2's exception would be lost.
