Yes, I can define getstate, setstate, and getinitargs (the only one that can actually do any work, since ints are immutable), but I was wondering if there's a more straightforward way to suppress the instance dict in the derived classes.

Setting tp_dictoffset to 0 might help. However, I'm unsure what consequences this has; read the source.
