Python Cherrypy 404 Error Handling

Question

I have a web server that has all of the configurations set in the code, but I want to be able to handle all page 404 errors. How would I go about doing this in Python?

Answer 1

Make a default handler in the root.

class Root:
    def index(self):
        return "Hello!"
    index.exposed = True

    def default(self, attr='abc'):
        return "Page not Found!"
    default.exposed = True

Answer 2
