Newbie Python+XML Question

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Python and I'm trying to understand and
run some else's code that uses XML (SAX). Here's the top
part of the code:
#
import socket
import getopt
import string
import xml.sax
#import xml.sax.saxutils
from xml.sax import saxutils
import sys
class XmlHandler(saxutils.DefultHandler):
def __init__(self, argv, machines=[]):
saxutils.DefultHandler.__init__(self)
self.info = {}
self.hostname = ''
self.max_hostname_len = 0
self.metrics = {}
self.machines = machines
I tried following the SAX example at:
http://py-howto.sourceforge.net/xml-howto/xml-howto.html
to understand what the author was doing. However,
when I run the script as follows, it dies on me.
% python2.1 testg.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "testg.py", line 26, in ?
class XmlHandler(saxutils.DefultHandler):
AttributeError: 'xml.sax.saxutils' module has no attribute 'DefultHandler'
It looks like the SAX stuff is not getting imported correctly.
Does anyone feel like helping a lowly Newbie with this one?
TIA,
Jeff
