Are you sure this worked in 1.70 but not in 1.71?

if you try

x= Field('uuid',
                           type=s3uuid,
                           length=64,
                           notnull=True,
                           unique=True,
                          readable=False,
                           writable=False,
                           default="")
print x.type

you get 'string' and not <instance SQLCustomType>.
It is as if something is wrong in the Field constructor but I did not
change that.
