How to assign gRPC message which is a Python keyword

The service that I'm using has a from message type. 

    message EmailMessage {
            EmailRecipient from = 1;
            repeated EmailRecipient to = 1;
            ....
    }

Here is the code snippet of how I'm creating a request for this service in my client.

email_message = eaas_pb2.EmailMessage(
    from=email_recipient_from,
    to=email_recipient_to,
    subject=subject,
    purpose=purpose,
    plain_text_body=plain_text_body)

I run into a SyntaxError when using this because from is a Python keyword. So this exact problem has been documented for protobuf here. Is there a solution for this which doesn't involve changing the message declaration? gPRC docs don't mention anything about this.

Using a kwargs dictionary solved it for me. 

 **{
        'from': email_recipient_from,
        'to': [email_recipient_to],
        'cc': [],
        'bcc': [],
        'subject': subject,
        'purpose': purpose,
        'plain_text_body': plain_text_body,
    }
