This example requires PyXML (e.g. PyXML 0.6.5), see pyxml.sf.net for
details.

However, the example should really be changed to work with standard
Python 2.1 only. To do so, simply use xml.sax.ContentHandler as the
base class. If you want to use the class also as the error handler,
you need to inherit from xml.sax.ErrorHandler as well.
