TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

I'm trying to test a few different approaches to displaying pages via
Cherrypy and I'm not having much luck.  Here is my code so far:

import sys, cherrypy, html

class Root:
	@cherrypy.expose
	def index(self, pageid = None):
		selection = html.Page()
		return  selection.input()

cherrypy.config.update({'server.socket_port': 2572, 'log.screen':
False})
cherrypy.quickstart(Root())

and here is the html.py file that I import:

class Page:
	def input(self,dex=None):
		if dex == None:
			return 404(dex)
		else:
			return "Something else?"

	def err404(self,whatitis="N/A"):
		return """<body bgcolor="#666666">
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /
><br /><br /><br /><br />
<center>Sorry the page: """ + str(whatitis) + """ does not exist.<br /
>
<img src="/files/images/404.png" alt="Page cannot be found."></center>
</body>"""

and here is the error I get when trying to run this:

500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from
fulfilling the request.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home2/awasilenko/lib/python2.4/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line

    return 404(dex)
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

I know this isn't a Cherrypy issue since I have made other pages work,
I'm just making a dumb mistake somewhere.  My plan is to eventually be
able to pass dex to the input def in the page class so it can display
the right page.  Right now I am just trying to make ANY thing show up,
what should happen is since I'm not passing anything everything should
be None and the 404 page should pop up.  I would also like to make the
404 page print the page that was requested, I have already coded the
return but have not "connected" it yet, one step at a time...
