Note: this is based purely on code inspection. These numbers should be derived from the httplib module, not hardcoded in the code.
196 class ReviewBoardHTTPErrorProcessor(HTTPErrorProcessor):
197 """Processes HTTP error codes.

199 Python 2.6 gets HTTP error code processing right, but 2.4 and 2.5 only
200 accepts HTTP 200 and 206 as success codes. This handler ensures that
201 anything in the 200 range, as well as 304, is a success.
202 """
203 def http_response(self, request, response):
204 if not (200 <= response.code < 300 or response.code == 304):
205 response = self.parent.error('http', request, response,
206 response.code, response.msg,
207 response.info())

209 return response
Here's another hardcoded instance.. 277 except HTTPError as e: 278 if e.code == 401:
HTTP status codes aren't changing any time soon. I'm not sure this is worth changing. Particularly since those working on HTTP code should absolutely be familiar with the various status codes, and seeing those codes here means not having to look up a constant in some documentation.
They shouldn't change anytime soon, but it makes reading the code to determine where and what's going on a bit easier.
