Summary: no handler base classes in xml.sax

Initial Comment:
The 2.4.1 Documentation for xml.sax.handler states:

Handler implementations should inherit from the base
classes provided in the module xml.sax, so that all
methods get default implementations.

However, there are no handler base classes in xml.sax.

You need to look at xml.sax.handler.

See (bottom of)
http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.2/lib/module-xml.sax.html (See
also xml.sax.handler)

There's also a hint in xml.sax.__doc__
