+class AttachmentsMixin:
+    """
+    This mixin is intended to be used with a form so that attachments functionality
+    can be tied in with the form itself. It handles all of the attaching and deleting.
+
+    To use this mixin, first create a class that inherits from it so that the
+    ``get_session_error_message`` can be overridden.
+    Then, make it a superclass of an existing ``ModelForm``.
+
+    Due to method resolution order, make this mixin the left-most superclass.
+    For example, ``class MyForm(MyAttachmentsMixin, forms.ModelForm)``.
+
+    The ``__init__`` method does the following:
+        - Make ``session`` and ``attachments_field_name`` instance variables.
+        - Keep track of files that will be deleted.
+
+    :param session: an already-created session
