google.appengine.api.memcache.peek

Gets an item from memcache along with its timestamp metadata.

google.appengine.api.memcache.peek(
    key, namespace=None
)

Peeking at items will update stats, but will not alter the eviction order of the item. Unlike get(), an item is fetched even if it is delete locked.

Args
key	The key in memcache to look up. See docs on Client for details of format.
namespace	a string specifying an optional namespace to use in the request.

Returns
An ItemWithTimestamps object which contains the value of the item along with timestamp metadata - expiration timestamp, last access timestamp and delete timestamp (if the item is delete locked).
