Summary: Improve error reporting when Python opens source code

Initial Comment:
Python gives the slightly unhelpful error message:
"can't open file %s" when given a bad file name.

Here's a patch to make Python's error reporting a
little more explicit when a user accidently mistypes
the name of a source file.  It's just a simple call to
strerror().  The patch is made against the Python-2.3.3
release.

Thanks for the patch, applied as main.c 1.83. Some systems
don't have strerror, which I also took into account.

Modified the patch to more closely match error output from
Python.  Now prints "[Errno %d]" as well as the strerror().
