from wikidata.client import Client
client = Client() 
entity = client.get('Q20145', load=True)
entity.attribute['aliases']['en']#get english “also know as”

As @cdhx answered, there is the Entity.attributes attribute which has the entire raw data. As of now, you could get “also known as” field through entity.attributes['aliases'].

However, it would be better if we have an attribute/property like Entity.aliases.
