How do I get the error message out of a requests exception?
I'm trying to log error messages from Requests exceptions. Example:
```python
try:
make_web_request()
except RequestException as ex:
logging.error(ex)
```
Example output:
```
ERROR : ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer'))
```
...okay, that's technically usable, but it's ugly. It looks more like a repr than an error message. The piece of it I actually want is the 'Connection reset by peer'. In this case I've found that I can get it with `log.error(ex.args[0].args[-1])`, but I don't think I can count on that working for other subtypes of RequestException (or even other instances of the same type).
Is there a Right Way to do this?
