# GObject

GObject is the foundation for object-oriented programming in the GNOME libraries. For example `GObject.Object` is the base providing the common attributes and methods for all object types in GTK and the other libraries in this guide.

The `GObject.Object` class provides methods for object construction and destruction, property access methods, and signal support.

This chapter will introduce some important aspects about the GObject implementation in Python.
