Add a leading underscore:
_from="points",
If the first character of a keyword is an underscore, it's removed
when generating the argument list. This allows passing arguments which
are Python keywords or which are recognised by the run_command()
function.
Most arguments which are recognised by the Popen() constructor are
passed to Popen() rather than to the program. The argument names
"flags", "overwrite", "quiet" and "verbose" are also treated
specially.
