[New-bugs-announce] [issue42877] TracebackException saves more data than it needs

[Irit Katriel]

New submission from Irit Katriel <iritkatriel at yahoo.com>:

TracebackException saves both __cause__ and __context__ even though format() ignores the __context__ if there is __cause__.

If we change the constructor to save only what format() needs, it will save space and simplify the code.
