gobject.GBoxed — an object containing an opaque chunk of data
is an abstract base class that encapsulates an opaque chunk of data to
provide an object-oriented interface and a type that is registered with the
GLIB type system. A boxed type is registered with
functions that provide for the copying and freeing of the underlying data
structure - this allows PyGTK to encapsulate these as Python objects.
|a copy of the |
copy() method makes and returns a copy of the boxed object.
