class stalker.models.department.Department(users=None, **kwargs)

Bases: stalker.models.entity.Entity

The departments that forms the studio itself.

The information that a Department object holds is like:

• The members of the department
• and all the other things those are inherited from the AuditEntity class

Two Department object considered the same if they have the same name, the the users list is not important, a “Modeling” department should of course be the same with another department which has the name “Modeling” again.

so creating a department object needs the following parameters:

Parameters:users – it can be an empty list, so one department can be created without any member in it. But this parameter should be a list of User objects.
