How to upload a picture on a web application with the selenium testing tool? I am using python.

Upload input control opens a native dialog (it is done by browser) so clicking on the control or browse button via Selenium will just pop the dialog and the test will hang.
The workaround is to set the value of the upload input via JavaScript (in Java it is done via JavascriptExecutor) and then submit the form.
See this question for sample in C#, I am sure there’s also a way to call JavaScript in Python but I never used Selenium Python bindings
