PyException_GetTraceback can return null. Will PyErr_Restore work if this is the case?

Throwing is very slow and something that is best avoided here. is there a way we avoid having to throw the exception just to catch and return an empty std::nested_exception?

Can't we just use the CPython API to check if the exception is nested instead?

Description
Expose Python exception cause (
raise ... from ...) to C++ viastd::nested_exception. Inverse of #3608.Useful after #3605 etc.
Does not set std::nested_exception base if a C++ exception is already present, for backwards compatibility if anyone is already using
std::throw_with_nested(py::error_already_set()).Suggested changelog entry:
