Your handle_404(request): needs to accept request, exception and template.
But if what you want this for is the current Year.
Just create a 404 template file in your template root named 404.html.
In the template use
{% now 'Y' %}
To get the current year.
The just let the default django 404 error process pick it up that as it's
the default template to use for 404..
Make sure you have DEBUG=False for your testing.
