^ Without this, as JP Calderone pointed out earlier, you can't serialize unbound methods. I wouldn't mind that so much, but you can't tell that they're any different from regular functions until you're de-serializing them.

In general I like the patch, but what is the rationale for removing im_class from functions defined within classes?
