How to move the handles of a sequence via scripting?

Question

There are the following commands:

bpy.context.scene.sequence_editor_create()

bpy.context.scene.sequence_editor.sequences.new_image("coolName", "path/db.png", 4, 1)

Until now I have created a sequence on channel 4, starting at frame 1 like in the following picture:

I want to control the starting frame of the slider and the ending frame of this strip. How can I achieve this using blender script?

You can reference the sequence object immediately when creating it:

seq = bpy.context.scene.sequence_editor.sequences.new_image("coolName", "somePath/img.PNG", 4, 1)

Then you can edit the frame_final_start and frame_final_end to edit the sequence start and finish, same as the handles:

seq.frame_final_start = 10
seq.frame_final_end   = 50
