I don't think it is impossible; see also python.org/sf/558238
However, I would make pickling of bound methods "built-in", i.e. by
pickle explicitly recognizing bound methods, or using copy_reg, as
Konrad suggests.
If you really want to use __reduce__, you probably have to make sure
it isn't delegated to the function object.
