Hi Syver,

Thanks for the chance to let me comment on HandlerBase. I think it so
rarely (if ever) needed that it is not worth defining it. In your
specific example, all you need is a ContentHandler, so you only need
to inherit from that class.

> class FindIssue(HandlerBase):

Also, for convenience, ContentHandler is available through xml.sax, so
you should write

class FindIssue(xml.sax.ContentHandler):

This all is a minor point, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Regards,
Martin
