I was going to suggest __enter__/__exit__, but that code relies mainly 
on existing opcodes and just does an attribute lookup rather than 
explicitly bypassing the instance dictionary.

However, the source code for cPickle may provide some ideas (when it 
looks up _reduce__/__getstate__/etc).

Cheers,
Nick.
