EnvironmentError and its subclass OSError add the value of errno in their error message. This value is an integer but the specific value in an implementation detail and the C runtime recommends that programmers use the symbolic values instead. Ex: one should use ENODATA instead of 61. For the same reason, the Python interpreter should try to return the symbolic value or errno when possible. The attached patch replaces errno in EnvironmentError.__str__() by its symbolic value when possible.
