Trouble with Python reserved word "from" as API attribute

Question

I want to create a list of phone numbers from my message list using this Python script but am hung up on the 'from' attribute since it is a Python reserved word. Not sure what I am doing wrong. This script results in no numbers.

resp = platform.get('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store').json()

messList=resp.records

for i in messList:
    
    try:
      fromMess=getattr(i,'from')
      fromMess=fromMess.phoneNumber

    except:
      fromMess='no number'

    print(fromMess)

messList=resp.records

for i in messList:
    
    try:
      fromMess=getattr(i,'from')
      fromMess=fromMess.phoneNumber

except:
      fromMess='no number'

print(fromMess)
