from telethon import TelegramClient
from telethon.tl.functions.account import UpdateProfileRequest

client = TelegramClient(<session>, <APICode>, <APIHash>)

with client:
    client(UpdateProfileRequest(first_name=f"Test"))

Answer 1

Telethon is asynchronous library you need to await in-order to get a result, further reading over here

from telethon import TelegramClient
from telethon.tl.functions.account import UpdateProfileRequest
import asyncio

client = TelegramClient(<session>, <APICode>, <APIHash>)


async def main():
    async with client:
        await client(UpdateProfileRequest(first_name="Test"))

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
