`_divide_and_round()` would be deleted in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/datetime.py#L2516.

if it's removed L2516 of datetime.py, `test_name_cleanup()` would be failed.Looks like it's a planed behavior~

add a pdb point in L11 of test_datetime.py

  8     try:
  9         pure_tests = import_fresh_module(TESTS, fresh=['datetime', '_strptime'],
 10                                          blocked=['_datetime'])
 11         import pdb;pdb.set_trace()
 12  ->     fast_tests = import_fresh_module(TESTS, fresh=['datetime',
 13                                                        '_datetime', '_strptime'])

and run `./python -m test test_datetime test_datetime`:
the first iteration:
(Pdb) pure_tests.datetime_module._divide_and_round
<function _divide_and_round at 0x7f694df8e7e0>
the second iteration(`_datetime` not blocked?):
(Pdb) pure_tests.datetime_module._divide_and_round
*** AttributeError: module 'datetime' has no attribute '_divide_and_round'

This isn't exactly "working as intended", but I believe it's a known problem with either `import_fresh_module` or `datetime`, as you can see from these comments: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/302e5a8f79514fd84bafbc44b7c97ec636302322/Lib/test/test_datetime.py#L14-L23

Based on the git blame, those TODO comments are from Georg Brandl, so I'm adding him to the nosy list in case he has some insight.

Sorry, it seems that was far too long ago for me to remember anything :)

> I believe it's a known problem with either `import_fresh_module` or `datetime`
after removed the cleanup operation of `sys.modules` in PR19213, the  testcases is successed in my local vm(I am not sure there have any other potential risks).

FYI, with the following additions in Lib/test/test_datetime.py...

   before = set(sys.modules)
   try:
       pure_tests = import_fresh_module(TESTS, fresh=['datetime', '_strptime'],
                                     blocked=['_datetime'])
       _pure = set(sys.modules)
       fast_tests = import_fresh_module(TESTS, fresh=['datetime',
                                                      '_datetime', '_strptime'])
       _fast = set(sys.modules)
       print(f'added (pure): {sorted(_pure-before)}')
       print(f'added (fast): {sorted(_fast-before)}')
       print('---')
   finally:
      ...

I get the following output running "./python -m test test_datetime test_datetime":

   0:00:00 load avg: 0.52 Run tests sequentially
   0:00:00 load avg: 0.52 [1/2] test_datetime

That definitely tells a story. :)  Unfortunately, for now I don't have any more time to investigate.  Sorry.

My PR of bpo-40799 fix this issue.

Thanks victor for your work, I closed my PR ;)

Fixed in issue40173.
