Do you mean the preview image that you see on table or tile layout? You have to check-in a file with the special context "icon". Whatever is latest that is checked-in to that context will appear as the preview. If there is no "icon" checkin, it will use the latest snapshot and look for a file of type "icon" in that snapshot.

I am sorry, but I mean use python code to update the preview image.

For example, if you use python api to upload images to particular sobject, changing the preview would look like:

Code:
skey = 'SOBJECT SKEY'

context = 'icon'

file_path = 'c:/file.jpg'

server.simple_checkin(skey, context, file_path)
