Is there a way to set the user icon for a bot?

[BenFrantzDale]

Here's the Hello World example. How would I change it so mybot has a user icon/photo?

import slack
import slack.chat
slack.api_token = 'your_token'
slack.chat.post_message('#eng', 'Hello slackers!', username='mybot')

slack.chat.post_message('#eng', 'Hello slackers!', username='mybot', icon_emoji=':some_emoji_in_slack:') OR slack.chat.post_message('#eng', 'Hello slackers!', username='mybot', icon_url='some url to an image')

So if I want to provide a custom image, I have to upload it first? How do I do that? I see slack.files.upload but I don't see docs.

I think the icon_url can just be any old web accessible url.

I know that this issue is 3 years old but is there a fix?

pip3 install slackclient
or
pip install slackclient if you're still on Python < 3

This appears to be the definitive guide and worked for me: https://www.fullstackpython.com/blog/build-first-slack-bot-python.html
