@theapplepastor it looks like you're using python 3, so print is a function. As such, you'll need to use print(stuff) rather than print stuff.

Thanks for this! I just created a similar script using argparse rather than hard coding _token hope this is helpful to people https://gitlab.com/tomleo/SlackFileCleanup/
