There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am not sure that subtype of '%.100s' is better than just type. It contains more information, but I think that this information is redundant at that moment and distracts from the true error -- passing an instance instead of a type.
Maybe just remove PyDescr_TYPE(descr)->tp_name?

It may be better to test str(cm.exception) instead of cm.exception.args[0]. Just for the case if error messages be generated dynamically in the future.
