What do you intend to achieve with this last line, and what's
the ';' for?

If I'm not mistaken it would be best to read the Python tutorial.

You shouldn't create an object that has the same name as its class.
Anyway, you can open a file using
var = file("/path/to/file")

Is it this you want to do?
class LogHandler(ContentHandler):
pass
f = file("dummyfile.txt")
curHandler = LogHandler()
curHandler.file = f
Seems quite pointless to me.
I'm still confused about your intentions.
