It means literally that "handle_404() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exception'", how are you calling handle_404()?

Thanks for your help.  In my urls.py I have this...

django.conf.urls.handler404 = "main.controllers.controllers.handle_404"

I believe that invokes the handle_404 function in the main/controllers/controllers.py file?

cs 

And what does your handle_404 function look like? As the error says, it needs to accept an "exception" keyword argument.

Note also that overriding the 404 handler is a very specialized thing to do and is almost always not required. Why are you doing this?
