Bug report

Bug description:

When importing certain modules (zoneinfo is an example), attributes are missing when inside a sub interpreter.

Importing these modules works inside the main interpreter.

I've written a test to demonstrate the bug

import unittest
import _xxsubinterpreters as interpreters


class TestCapsule(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_capsule(self):
        import zoneinfo

    def test_capsule_in_sub_interpreter(self):
        interp = interpreters.create()
        interpreters.run_string(interp, "import zoneinfo")
.Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/zoneinfo/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
    from _zoneinfo import ZoneInfo

I haven't seen this behaviour on any other modules, the thing that seemed special with datetime and this attribute is that it is a PyCapsule. So the issue is likely related to that?
