Memcached Get Operation with Python Example – POFTUT

Memcached Get Operation with Python Example


We store key-values all time but I belive that the time to get these values have came :). Now we will look how to get values by providing keys. The simplest syntax in memcached is get operation.

get key1 [key2] [key3]
  • get is the verb of the operation.
  • key1  is the key of the value we want to get
  • key2,key3,… are the keys we want to get. We can get multiple values with single get.
add poftut 0 100 4 
test 
STORED 
get poftut 
VALUE poftut 0 4 
test 
END

As the first we add out key as we have learned before.

  • get is the verb of the operation
  • poftut is the key of the value
  • VALUE is value options like name flag size
  • test is the value we are looking for
  • END means transaction is successfully ended.

Python Application

import memcache 
client=memcache.Client([('127.0.0.1',11211)]) 
samp={"poftut2":"test"} 
client.add("sample",samp,time=1000) 
print(client.get("sample"))

When executed following output is given

$ python3 get 
{'poftut2': 'test'}
