Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating error formatting and the property and enum definitions in the Python API, then compare the expected naming behavior with the C, LabVIEW, and C# APIs. Done means returned errors consistently use Python names so users can update their applications accordingly.
