Value
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.GObject





.. class:: Value(value_type=None, py_value=None)
   :no-contents-entry:






An opaque structure used to hold different types of values.

The data within the structure has protected scope: it is accessible only
to functions within a :obj:`~gi.repository.GObject.TypeValueTable` structure, or implementations of
the ``g_value_*()`` API. That is, code portions which implement new fundamental
types.

:obj:`~gi.repository.GObject.Value` users cannot make any assumptions about how data is stored
within the 2 element ``data`` union, and the ``g_type`` member should
only be accessed through the :func:`~gi.repository.GObject.VALUE_TYPE` macro.
