if you dont want the not found, then why are you calling notfound()?
you're essentially writing your own routing which is unnecessary or
maybe i'm just missing the point.
if not, just let your webserver do the work. otherwise, you have to
choose a correct header, etc.
so it's clear, here's the source in .23
def notfound():
"""Returns a `404 Not Found` error."""
ctx.status = '404 Not Found'
header('Content-Type', 'text/html')
return output('not found')
