The article claims that the howto mentions xml.sax.saxlib.HandlerBase,
but I cannot find any such mentioning. Instead, it uses ContentHandler
in most places, as it should.

Can you please give the exact URL of the page where saxlib is
mentioned? I cannot find that, either.

How about

http://py-howto.sourceforge.net/xml-howto/node7.html

from xml.sax import make_parser
from xml.sax.handler import feature_namespaces
...

    parser = make_parser()
    parser.setFeature(feature_namespaces, 0)
...

The howto does not mention xmlreader, as you'd normally would not need
to use that module.
