stalker.models.message.Message

class stalker.models.message.Message(**kwargs)

Bases: stalker.models.entity.Entity, stalker.models.mixins.StatusMixin

The base of the messaging system in Stalker

Messages are one of the ways to collaborate in Stalker. The model of the messages is taken from the e-mail system. So it is pretty similar to an e-mail message.

Parameters:

• from – the User object sending the message.
• to – the list of Users to receive this message
• subject – the subject of the message
• body – the body of the message
• in_reply_to – the Message object which this message is a reply to.
• replies – the list of Message objects which are the direct replies of this message
• attachments – a list of SimpleEntity objects attached to this message (so anything can be attached to a message)
