add visible images to Confluence using python

[Katie Harding]

I am able to update a page using this:

confluence.update_page(my_page, my_title, my_body, parent_id=my_id,
type='page', representation='storage', minor_edit=False)

I would like to add visible images (much like I do with  pasting images in manually)

I've tried this:

filename = 'images/conc_v_input.png'
confluence.attach_file(filename, page_id=my_page)

and this:

Which doesn't work since the image is only available on my computer.  I also don't want the image there as a link, but as an actual image.    

Eventually I would like to add tables too, if someone could point me to that.

filename = 'images/conc_v_input.png'

confluence.attach_file('images/conc_v_input.png', page_id=test_analysis)
image = '<ac:image> <ri:attachment ri:filename="conc_v_input.png" /> </ac:image>'

confluence.append_page(my_page, my_title, image, parent_id=test_analysis,
type='page', representation='storage', minor_edit=False)

Ideally I would like something where I can add multiple images with 

new_image = {filename: 'image.png', title: 'My cool image', description:'something to say about the image'}

my_body = my_body+new_image

edit: Looked into it a little bit today and figured something out that works, figured i'd share. Info is on another post you made.
