[allburov]

May be, someone needs upload attachments to WI.

wi = client.get_workitem(ids=111)
attachment= wi.attach(filename="myfilename.txt", filepath="C:\Users\allburov\myfile.txt")

i am getting error: 'Workitem' object has no attribute 'attach'

is this still working?how can i add ".msg" file as attachment to WIT?

This feature has not yet been implemented, unfortunately.
You can vote +1 and if there are many who wish, one of the maintainers will develop this feature.
Or you can develop it and create pull request :)

we were able to read and download attachments for WIT but unable to attach to WIT...hopefully this can be added ASAP.

I suppose the trick is here:

   {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/relations/-",
    "value": {
      "rel": "AttachedFile",
      "url": "https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/_apis/wit/attachments/098a279a-60b9-40a8-868b-b7fd00c0a439?fileName=Spec.txt",
      "attributes": {
        "comment": "Spec for the work"
      }
    }

but it's unclear for me - how did they get that guid:

098a279a-60b9-40a8-868b-b7fd00c0a439

And internet says I must pass filestream to a 'fileName' parameter - then why do they pass filename + file extension there?

@orihomie you're going to get it as a response from upload attachment post:
