Getting 'DatabaseError' object has no attribute 'message' in DJango

Question

I am trying to run the following code here to save information to the database. I have seen other messages - but - it appears that the solutions are for older versions of Python/DJango (as they do not seem to be working on the versions I am using now: Python 3.6.3 and DJango 1.11.7

if form.is_valid():
    try:
        item = form.save(commit=False)
        item.tenantid = tenantid
        item.save()
        message = 'saving data was successful'
    except DatabaseError as e:
        message = 'Database Error: ' + str(e.message)

When doing so, I get an error message the error message listed below. How can I fix this so I can get the message found at the DB level printed out?
