sendgrid html text,Simple way to send an html/text email using sendgrid & python?

I'm trying to use sendgrid to send email from my Python application.

It's sending fine using the mail helper and the following syntax:

sgmessage = mail.Mail(from_email, message.subject, to_email, content)

sg.client.mail.send.post(request_body=sgmessage.get())

But I can't find the way to send an email which has a multipart/alternative content type with text & html versions?

I've tried things like this:

sgmessage = mail.Mail(from_email, message.subject, to_email)

sgmessage.add_content(content)

sgmessage.add_content(htmlcontent)

But that gives me Bad Request when I try to send.

Could someone point me to the documentation or other tip for achieving this?

Also attachments -- I can't find docs for that handy mail helper which would help me add attachments ability to my code.
