Multiple 404 error pages using Python (Flask)

Is it possible to serve multiple 404 pages in python using a flask?

I currently have this in my views.py file:

@application.errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
    return render_template('errorpages/404.html'), 404

Is it possible to serve, for example, three random 404 pages instead of one? How?

Thanks in advance.

If you want your server to randomly select one of the three 404 pages to serve, you can do something like this:

import random

@application.errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
    return render_template(
        'errorpages/404_{}.html'.format(random.randint(0, 3)) ), 404

If your pages errorpages/404_1.html

, errorpages/404_2.html

anderrorpages/404_3.html




Or, if you wanted the page to serve as stateful, your code would look something like this:

@application.errorhandler(404)
def page_not_found(e):
    if condition:
        return render_template('errorpages/404_1.html'), 404
    return render_template('errorpages/404.html'), 404
