Current test only runs meaningful when _types optional module is implemented.
Usually Python unittest includes conditional handling to run tests under proper environment, but this test was exposed without it.
Adding checking _types split the test and verify the behavior regardless the environment has _types or not.

How did you test this?

Note that import_fresh_module() returns None when one of the "fresh" modules can not be imported.

That's exactly the cause of the problem. The test doesn't work when they are None.

I deleted _types to check the changed tests pass.

I don't like that c_only_names and ignored are defined in several places.

Would not be easier to simply skip tests that require c_types if it is not available?

And since c_types and py_types are only used in this test, I would import them locally.

_datetime is only used in this test, so we can import it locally. We can use test.support.import_module() to skip the test.

We can use test.support.get_attribute(types, 'CapsuleType') to skip the test if CapsuleType is not available.
