Re: Two questions

1. From the CHANGES file for swig-4.0.2:

2020-01-05: jschueller shadchin
            [Python] #1670 #1696 Add missing field initializers introduced
in python 3.8:
            tp_vectorcall and tp_print.

2. Customise using slots with the "python:tp_repr" feature, see
https://www.swig.org/Doc4.0/Python.html#Python_builtin_overloads.
