When something that isn't constant found in a ast.Constant node's body, python reports errors like this

>>> e = ast.Expression(body=ast.Constant(value=type))
>>> ast.fix_missing_locations(e)
<_ast.Expression object at 0x7fc2c23981c0>
>>> compile(e, "<test>", "eval")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: got an invalid type in Constant: type

But if something is part of constant tuple and frozenset isn't constant, the error reporting is wrong 

>>> e = ast.Expression(body=ast.Constant(value=(1,2,type)))
>>> compile(e, "<test>", "eval")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: got an invalid type in Constant: tuple

This should've been 

TypeError: got an invalid type in Constant: type

Congratulations Batuhan! You win with the bug number 40000! A nice number ;-) To be honest, I wanted to get it, but I didn't want to cheat by opening a stupid issue.

sorry to take it Victor, maybe you can get the perfect issue number when we migrate to github?

bpo-40000: Improve error messages when validating invalid ast.Constant nodes (GH-19055)

> _PyType_Name(Py_TYPE(value)))

Why truncating the type name in the error message? The qualified name (don't call _PyType_Name()) should provide more information, no?
