The message is definitely an str (unicode) string. WinXP,3.1.2,

import os
try: os.rmdir('nonexist')
except Exception as e:
    print(repr(e.args[1]), '\n', repr(e.strerror), '\n', e.filename)
os.rmdir('nonexist')

# prints
'The system cannot find the file specified' 
 'The system cannot find the file specified' 
 nonexist
...
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'nonexist'
