You can write your own custom notfound handler and assign it to web.webapi.notfound

    def my_notfound():
        print "MY OWN NOT FOUND"
    web.webapi.notfound = my_notfound

That returns a 200 instead of a 404.

def my_notfound():
   web.ctx.status = '404 Not Found'
   print "my own not found"
web.webapi.notfound = my_notfound

Although I don't know how long this will be valid. I ripped it from python-webpy/web/webapi.py and the notfound() method.
