Thanks for your explanation and it is nice. I missed the for loop in
the above and the code was trying to save the first exception from the
multiple undo functions.

Here, your assumption is that return nothing will have the same effect
as return false to the __exit()__ caller. I am not sure this will be
true for ever and this really depends on Python implementation which may
evolve in the future.
I excerpt some lines from python docs. The word in bold tell us to
return a false in such a case.

Returning a true value from this method will cause the with
<http://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#with> statement
to suppress the exception and continue execution with the statement
immediately following the with
<http://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#with> statement.
Otherwise the exception continues propagating after this method has
finished executing. Exceptions that occur during execution of this
method will replace any exception that occurred in the body of the with
<http://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#with> statement.
*The exception passed in should never be reraised explicitly - instead,
this method should return a false value to indicate that the method
completed successfully and does not want to suppress the raised
exception. This allows context management code (such as
**contextlib.nested**) to easily detect whether or not an **__exit__()
<http://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=contextmanager.__exit__#contextmanager.__exit__>**method
has actually failed.*
