class BaseHandler(object):
"""
Base class for stream handlers. Stream handlers are matched with
incoming stanzas so that the stanza may be processed in some way.
Stanzas may be matched with multiple handlers.
Handler execution may take place in two phases. The first is during
the stream processing itself. The second is after stream processing
and during SleekXMPP's main event loop. The prerun method is used
for execution during stream processing, and the run method is used
during the main event loop.
Attributes:
name -- The name of the handler.
stream -- The stream this handler is assigned to.
Methods:
match -- Compare a stanza with the handler's matcher.
prerun -- Handler execution during stream processing.
run -- Handler execution during the main event loop.
check_delete -- Indicate if the handler may be removed from use.
"""
def __init__(self, name, matcher, stream=None):

Create a new stream handler.
Arguments:
name -- The name of the handler.
matcher -- A matcher object from xmlstream.matcher that will be
used to determine if a stanza should be accepted by
this handler.
stream -- The XMLStream instance the handler should monitor.
