How to get HTTP error stream using Python requests library?

How do I access the error stream using the Python requests library? For example, using HttpURLConnection in Java, I would do something like:

InputStream errorStream = conn.getErrorStream();

Is there a function like this with requests?
I'm looking for the error message in the response that was supplied by the source, NOT the error status e.g. Internal Server Error

requests won't raise an exception if HTTP error occurs, but you can get the error message in the response content. Example: 

url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/does_not_exist'
r = requests.get(url)
print(r.status_code, r.reason)
print(r.text)
