Indeed.  Here is a patch to Quixote 0.6 to add the response codes to the
http_response module.  I've included codes not in the RFC in order to be
consistent with Quixote's existing table of response code messages.
Making Quixote use these internally rather than magic numbers is left as
an exercise for the guilty :-).

Of course, I think both the response code enumeration and messages are a
prime candidate for the Python library proper.  Does this really need to
be duplicated in every web framework?
