On my system (Debian Woody Linux) it means:
#define EIO 5 /* I/O error */
errno's are typically over(ab)used on *nix. You would have to
check the manual page of the actual system call that returned
the error to see what it means precisely.

And what is sys.stderr at that point? What platform are you
running on? What does your code look like, that raises this
error?
