Now that [the peek bug](https://github.com/kellyelton/OCTGN/issues/93) is fixed, I'd like to allow python to peek at cards as well. This would allow one to be able to grab a card property from a face down card. Without this, the only workaround I have is to flip the card face up, grab the property and store it in a variable and then immediately flip it face down again so that the other player can't see it.

I understand there are some concerns about cheating (i.e. someone hacking their version to make a mute python script that peeks at all the opponent's cards) but a possible solution until [cheat protection is implemented](https://github.com/kellyelton/OCTGN/issues/51) would be to forcefully restrict this functions only to cards one controls on the table.
