Resolve python API to update clips in timeline tracks

[prabu_7]

Is there a way in Davinci Resolve to update timeline tracks like creating a new track or delete an existing track in the timeline, move a clip to the given start position in the timeline, update the track file path using Python API?

There is not yet, unfortunately. Best option in my opinion would be to maybe use something like OpenTimelineIO:
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenTimelineIO

and build an XML/AAF manually through that, and then import it as a new sequence?

I've been doing editorial pipeline tools at a VFX company and would LOVE more control over the timeline in resolve, but they've been super slow to add anything relevant

Someone was asking for a similar thing on the BMD forum the other day. Like Austin says, but I may add that you don't even need OTIO. You can just iterate the items in a current timeline, create a new timeline and append items back in the order you need. It's not an elegant solution.
