I found myself wanting to read the string field of the Error.

So for an error like:

<Response status_code=400, "application/json"> 
{'field_name': [ErrorDetail(string='the error message', code='invalid')]}

To get the string (e.g. for testing), I've used:

self.assertEqual(str(response.data['field_name'][0]), 'the error message')
