There is no workaround that allows a keyword to be used except as a
keyword, other than making it a string. When faced with this kind of
situation myself I use a synonym, like "since", or a translation,
like "desde".
The usual workaround is to append an underscore: 'from_'.
True, but ick. ;-) It's like a dangling preposition.
It is, in a sense, standard practice. It is used, for instance, for
tcl/tk names that are python keywords. The option / argument name 'in'
is written 'in_' when written without quotes in a call.
f(in_='.') and f(**{'in':'.'}) have the same effect.
