In order to reduce the pickle footprint of UUIDs I
would add a __reduce__ method to class UUID like

    def __reduce__(self):
        return (uuid, (self.int,))

together with a helper function (at module level) like

def uuid(i):
    return UUID(int=i)

Is the footprint of UUID an issue?

Note that changing the pickle format of UUID will require code that can 
unpickle both versions, for compatibility.  I don't really see the need.

Also, no real patch provided.

No clear problem, no patch.
