Yes.. tested that and SGMLParser won't let me override __init__, 
(SGMLParser vars are uninitialized even with sgmllib.SGMLParser(self) call).
Tried some but not the following:
with a differently named init function and one boolean class var 'initialized'
it can check 'if self.initialized' in front of each handler. Does the trick.

Confusion dissolved :)
thanks.
