In the future, the type annotation should use Deque in order to be
compatible with the latest mypy version. See
https://github.com/python/mypy/pull/2845 for more info.
Most of this code was simply moved from activity.js with some
minor renaming of functions like set_presence_info -> set_info.
Some functions were slightly nontrivial extractions:
is_not_offline:
came from activity.huddle_fraction_present
get_status/get_mobile:
simple getters
set_user_status:
partial extraction from activity.set_user_status
last_active_date:
pulled out of admin.js code
We also fixed activity.filter_and_sort to take user_ids.
Change `from django.utils.timezone import now` to
`from django.utils import timezone`.
This is both because now() is ambiguous (could be datetime.datetime.now),
and more importantly to make it easier to write a lint rule against
datetime.datetime.now().
Expose `is_mentioned` in `message` dict which contains
boolean value about our account is mentioned in the message
content or not.
This is already available via `flags`, but it seems worth making this
data point more explicit, given its importance in writing bots.
Fixes#2667.
A few functions had arguments removed without having their type
annotations updated accordingly. As a result mypy version 0.4.6
thinks that the first type in the annotation is supposed to be
the type of `self`, a new mypy feature which we are not intending
to use here.
