Exceptions have no 'message' attribute

[vfxGer]

Hi,
From what I can tell the json Exceptions have no 'message' attribute.
This means errors are not passed on.
I am using Python 2.4.3
Here is the result of the unit test that came with the checkout.

Hi,
This is about python-jsonrpc, sorry I did not make that explicit in
the subject before.
It appears as if this is a python2.4.4 issue because it works fine in
Python 2.6.6
Anyone know a workaround since it would make my life easier to use
this in python2.4
Thanks.
