It's going away in Python 3.0. In retrospect the attribute was a
mistake thanks to its odd semantics to be backwards compatible in a
reasonable way. Plus its removal from the code base was nasty mostly
thanks to C-based exceptions.

You can get around this easily enough with a subclass that uses a
property for message::
class gerror(Exception):
def _get_message(self, message): return self._message
def _set_message(self, message): self._message = message
message = property(_get_message, _set_message)
