So the underscore the prefix or suffix function as an escape character?

It seems to work both if used with grass.script

import grass.script as gs

gs.run_command("v.distance", from_=tmpout3, to=tmp_val, upload="to_attr", column="x", to_column=column)


Both do not seem to work with Module

from grass.pygrass.modules import Module

Module("v.distance", from_=tmpout3, to=tmp_val, upload="to_attr", column="x", to_column=column)
