Mjumbe Wawatu Poe 3cef6bd02c PUT returns a 201 status when instance was created. 
Note: This behavior is still idempotent, as the state of the system is the same after multiple PUT requests as it is after one.  However, it is helpful to know whether an instance was created or whether it already existed.

Django REST framework
=====================

**Django REST framework makes it easy to build well-connected, self-describing RESTful Web APIs.**

**Author:** Tom Christie.  `Follow me on Twitter <https://twitter.com/_tomchristie>`_.

Overview
========

Features:

* Creates awesome self-describing *web browse-able* APIs.
* Clean, modular design, using Django's class based views.
* Easily extended for custom content types, serialization formats and authentication policies.
* Stable, well tested code-base.
* Active developer community.

Full documentation for the project is available at http://django-rest-framework.org

Issue tracking is on `GitHub <https://github.com/tomchristie/django-rest-framework/issues>`_.
General questions should be taken to the `discussion group <http://groups.google.com/group/django-rest-framework>`_.

We also have a `Jenkins service <http://jenkins.tibold.nl/job/djangorestframework1/>`_ which runs our test suite. 

Requirements:

* Python (2.5, 2.6, 2.7 supported)
* Django (1.2, 1.3, 1.4 supported)
