 Although powerful, implementing :meth:`__reduce__` directly in your classes is

+Pickle protocol 4
+=================
+
+The new :mod:`pickle` protocol addresses a number of issues that were present
+in previous protocols, such as the serialization of nested classes, very
+large strings and containers, or classes whose :meth:`__new__` method takes
+keyword-only arguments.  It also brings a couple efficiency improvements.
