It depends on how the particular exception class is implemented. In 
general, if you do str(error), you get the error message. I think in most 
exception classes, error.args[0] is also typically the error message. This 
is a general Python issue and not specific to web2py.

try:
    ....
except db._adapter.driver.IntegrityError as e:
    return str(e)
