 class Attachment:
+    """Additional files/data to send along with an event.
+
+    This class stores attachments that can be sent along with an event. Attachments are files or other data, e.g.
+    config or log files, that are relevant to an event. Attachments are set on the ``Scope``, and are sent along with
+    all non-transaction events (or all events including transactions if ``add_to_transactions`` is ``True``) that are
+    captured within the ``Scope``.
+
+    To add an attachment to a ``Scope``, use :py:meth:`sentry_sdk.Scope.add_attachment`. The parameters for
+    ``add_attachment`` are the same as the parameters for this class's constructor.
+
+    :param bytes: Raw bytes of the attachment, or a function that returns the raw bytes. Must be provided unless
+                  ``path`` is provided.
+    :param filename: The filename of the attachment. Must be provided unless ``path`` is provided.
+    :param path: Path to a file to attach. Must be provided unless ``bytes`` is provided.
+    :param content_type: The content type of the attachment. If not provided, it will be guessed from the ``filename``
+                         parameter, if available, or the ``path`` parameter if ``filename`` is ``None``.
+    :param add_to_transactions: Whether to add this attachment to transactions. Defaults to ``False``.
