Constructors for Exported Types?

[raviteja-bhupatiraju]

For the type

type TestType = ref object of PyNimObjectExperimental
  name: string
  age: int

in pylib.nim

I can neither do

tt = pylib.TestType("John Doe", 100)

nor

proc new_TestType(n: string, a: int): TestType {.exportpy.} =
  return TestType(name: n, age: a)

This is a much awaited feature for me and I understand this might still be incompletely implemented at this point.
Are getters and setters the only way to construct objects? Or am I doing something wrong? I get no compile errors.

new_TestType throws
SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)
at runtime from Python.

Constructors are not supported yet, however new_TestType crash is a bug. Dont know how to fix it yet.

[yglukhov]

The crash is fixed. Leaving this open until custom constructors are implemented.
