Comment:

 If I understand the patch correctly, it violates a very essential
 assumption about hash codes: The hash has to be the same for objects that
 are equal. But with the patch, it may be possible that during unpickling
 the hash "0" is returned,  while afterwards a completely different value
 is returned for ''the same'' object.

 This is giving me headache. Isn't it be possible that things are put in
 the wrong hash bucket?

 Wouldn't it be a cleaner solution to ensure that self.!__basis is defined
 during unpickling before the hash is requested?

 Could you explain why your solution is correct?
