I tend to agree that the errno is much less useful than the symbolic name.  The former is useful and will be available as an attribute, but the latter should be used in the str.  The change will probably break scads of doctests, but is probably worth it. :)

BTW, this came up in the PEP 3151 discussions, but I agree it's orthogonal to that PEP.
