Finally I got the results now. This did take me 10 hours to solve
this. the docs of 3.0......
I hope this could help someone else:

PyObject *exc_type = NULL, *exc_value = NULL, *exc_tb = NULL;
PyErr_Fetch(&exc_type, &exc_value, &exc_tb);
PyObject* str_exc_type = PyObject_Repr(exc_type); //Now a unicode
object
PyObject* pyStr = PyUnicode_AsEncodedString(str_exc_type, "utf-8",
"Error ~");
const char *strExcType =  PyBytes_AS_STRING(pyStr);
Py_XDECREF(str_exc_type);
Py_XDECREF(pyStr);

Py_XDECREF(exc_type);
Py_XDECREF(exc_value);
Py_XDECREF(exc_tb);
