Friendly status code names

[kgriffs]

Add friendly names for common status codes ala https://docs.python.org/3.0/library/http.client.html

Would love to help out with this. Do you want to completely convert falcon.status_codes from HTTP_XXX to this model or would you prefer to keep both?

[kgriffs]

@etscrivner Thanks! I think we ought to keep both, if nothing else for backwards-compat. Also, some people may prefer the more succinct, code-based names. We can always deprecate the codes later if it turns out most people have stopped using them.

we are already facing this issue

using this in our code base :-

def on_get(self, req, resp):
    resp.status = falcon.HTTP_300

and travis complaints :-

************* Module jumpgate.identity.drivers.sl.versions

E: 9,22: Module 'falcon' has no 'HTTP_300' member (no-member)

ERROR: InvocationError: '/home/travis/build/softlayer/jumpgate/.tox/pep8/bin/pylint -E jumpgate'

should i open a new bug? have the old status codes been deprecated?

@Neetuj That's odd; HTTP_300 has not been removed. In fact, this work item hasn't been started yet (at least I haven't seen any PRs referencing it). Maybe this is a false positive from pylint for some reason?

[Neetuj]

Yes seems like so .. since i also did not see any work or check in related
to it.

@Neetuj Any update on this issue? Is there a way to reproduce the issue outside of Travis?

I am working on this at the Pycon sprints
