## Description

`gtk.Bin` is an abstract base class defining a widget that is a container with just one child. It is useful for deriving subclasses, since it provides the common code needed for handling a single child widget. Many PyGTK widgets are subclasses of `gtk.Bin`, including `gtk.Window`, `gtk.Button`, `gtk.Frame`, `gtk.HandleBox`, and `gtk.ScrolledWindow`.

## Methods

### gtk.Bin.get_child

        def get_child()

Returns : | a reference to the child widget

The `get_child`() method returns a reference to the child of the bin, or `None` if the bin contains no child widget.
