Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/http_status-0.1.0a-py2.7.egg-infoUsageUse by itself:>>> import http_status
>>> http_status.name[302]
'Found'
>>> http_status.description[302]
'URI of this resource has changed, temporarily.'Use of the Status object:>>> from http_status import Status
>>> s = Status(403)
>>> s.code
403
>>> s.name
'Forbidden'
>>> s.description
'Client does not have rights to access the content.'

>>> s.code = 405
>>> s.name
'Method Not Allowed'
>>> s.description
'Server has disabled this request method and cannot be used.'Status() only accepts ‘valid’ HTTP status codes, ints from 100 to 599 as per RFC.
If an invalid code is given, it will throw an InvalidHttpCode exception:>>> from http_status import Status
>>> s = Status(9999)

    raise InvalidHttpCode('{} is above maximum HTTP status code {}'.format(http_code, maximum))
http_status.InvalidHttpCode: 9999 is above maximum HTTP status code 599However, it can be set to nonstrict to not throw exceptions, and simply return
the standard name/description not found for invalid objects, as such:>>> from http_status import Status
>>> s = Status(9999, strict=False)
>>> s
<http_status.Status object at 0x1101905d0>
>>> s.name
'No HTTP Name'
>>> s.code
0Note that if the Status object does not have a name/description matching the
given code, it will return default strings (for compatability when directly
insertingStatus.nameandStatus.descriptioninto format strings.This can be changed by passing argumentsname_failanddescription_failwhen you create Status:>>> from http_status import Status
>>> s = Status(243)
>>> s.name
'No HTTP Name'
>>> s.description
'No HTTP Description.'

>>> from http_status import Status
>>> s = Status(243, name_fail='Nothing', description_fail='Nothing at all')
>>> s.name
'Nothing'
>>> s.description
'Nothing at all'The classNoneStatusis exactly the same as Status, butname_failanddescription_failboth default to None.SourcesDescriptions mostly adapted from:Mozilla Dev Wiki: <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/HTTP_response_codes>Wikipedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes>LicenseCopyright (c) 2014 Daniel Oaks and contributorsPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
