We're using Flask for one of our API's and I was just wondering if anyone knew how to return a HTTP response 201?

For errors such as 404 we can call:

from flask import abort
abort(404)

But for 201 I get

LookupError: no exception for 201

Do I need to create my own exception like this in the docs?
