The patch is ready here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/12263
This will make it have a text of "this exception is the direct result of"
instead of "During handling of the above exception, another exception
occurred"
This is more accurate for the case of this exception.
If this change will be merged, there are a couple more place in this
module where it can be added.
When it happened to me a few weeks ago, it was due to a circular import,
which I then fixed. Now of course, when I tried to reproduce the circular
import to show you, I couldn't. But I could achieve the same thing by
renaming `urlpatterns` to `xurlpatterns`, so it wouldn't be available.
This is the error I get:
{{{

The bad part is `During handling of the above exception, another exception
occurred`.
After my fix, it looks like this:

Now the text is corrected to `The above exception was the direct cause of
the following exception`
