This is all correct except we create dict by default currently.

[slozier]

As stated in the comment above it works except for dict:

from types import ModuleType as M
m = M.__new__(M)
assert str(m) == "<module '?' (built-in)>"
assert not hasattr(m, "__name__")
assert m.__dict__ is None
try:
    dir(m)
    assert False
except SystemError:
    pass
