tarfile.TarFile.next() currently reraises non-zlib exceptions with raise e
inside its generic exception handler:

except Exception as e:
    try:
        import zlib
        if isinstance(e, zlib.error):
            raise ReadError(f'zlib error: {e}') from None
        else:
            raise e
    except ImportError:
        raise e

Using raise e adds an extra traceback frame at the re-raise site. A bare
raise would keep the traceback cleaner while preserving the original exception
and its traceback.
