DataHandler.getValueFromStr

Creates a new GValue which represents the str value given as argument. This is the opposite of the function gda.data_handler.DataHandler.getStrFromValue. The type argument is used to determine the real data type requested for the returned value.

If the str string is null, then the returned GValue is of type GDA_TYPE_NULL; if the str string does not correspond to a valid string for the requested type, then null is returned.

Note: the str string must be in the current locale representation
