How to get all the keys from memcache using python

Question

I'm trying to find how to get all the keys from memcache but I can not find the answer. I saw some answer codes that using telnet but finally it didn't work. I want to know exactly how to get keys at once, using telnet or other things. It should be done in python.

Answer 1

A bit late, but here's how I was able to do it. client is a pymemcached client, ensure_str converts bytes to unicode (six.ensure_str would work):

keys = {}
for key, val in client.stats('items').items():
    _, slab, field = ensure_str(key).split(':')
    if field != 'number' or val == 0:
        continue
    item_request = client.stats('cachedump', slab, str(val + 10))
    for record, details in item_request.items():
        keys[ensure_str(record)] = ensure_str(details)

Ends up with a format as follows:

>>> print('\n'.join(f'{k}: {v}' for k, v in keys.items()))
