Refers to a non-destructive operation performed on sequential, collection-like data structures that have the notion of "top element" or "next element", such as stacks, queues and streams. The `peek` operation returns the value of the "top" (or "next") element without "consuming" that element, i.e. without removing that element from the data structure.

How can I peek at the next character in a file in Python 3?
Suppose I'm building a parser, and I want to lookahead in the stream.
In Python 2, I could write:
def peek():
next = inputfile.read(1)
inputfile.seek(-1,1)
return next
however, in Python 3, relative seeks were disabled.
