Over in web-sig, we're discussing PEP 333, the Web Server Gateway Interface. Rather than defining our own set of constants for the HTTP status code integers, we thought it would be a good idea to add them to httplib, allowing other applications to benefit. I've uploaded a patch[1] to httplib.py and the corresponding documentation. Do people think this is a good idea?
I would also put the statuses in a dictionary, such that: status_code[BAD_GATEWAY] = "Bad Gateway" This could be accomplished via something like: status_code = dict([ (val, key.replace('_',' ').title()) for key,val in globals.items() if key==key.upper() and not key.startswith('HTTP') and not key.startswith('_') ])
