Is it possible to install PKCS 12 cert through Python SDK?

I don't see any interface under bigip.tm.sys.cryto.py like certs and keys. So I tried to use the format where Chris Hiner used above but it didn't work.

    command=install
    name=name_to_show_in_ssllist
    from-local-file=/var/config/rest/downloads/nameof.file.pkcs12
    passphrase=password_for_pkcs12

I tried like this but it didn't work. I wonder what is the correct format for pkcs 12.

param_set = {'from-local-file':'/var/config/rest/downloads/testpkcs.p12', 'name':'testpkcsfile', 'passphrase':'pkcs_pw'}
bigip.tm.sys.crypto.keys.exec_cmd('install',** param_set)
bigip.tm.sys.crypto.certs.exec_cmd('install',** param_set)
