types currently exposes all types used by the interpreter except cell
objects. This patch adds support for that and adds to the docs. I
couldn't find a way to access the cell type through Python, so I added
it to the _types module.

The following python code retrieves the cell type, and could be added to
types.py:
def _f(x=None):
 def g():
 x
 return g
CellType = type(_f().func_closure[0])
OTOH, you are unlikely to need it. Do you have a use case, or is it just
to have the full list of types?

While I'm at it, the _types module could be removed, because its exports
can easily be replaced by:
GetSetDescriptorType = type(Exception.args)
MemberDescriptorType = type(EnvironmentError.errno)

I've attached a patch which uses the Amaury's implementation.

Mostly, I want a full list of types.

Okay, I removed the _types module in favor of your Python
implementation. Here's the patch.

Please have a look at patch #1605, too. It implements a semi
autogenerated _types module which exposes all types in from Include/*.h

Committed r62231: remove _types module.
I did not add CellType though, because of discussion in #1605.
