I don't know if this will help, I wrote a utility class for PyXR that 
manages to harvest links for about 
80-90% of builtin functions and standard modules from the HTML docs.  I 
originally tried to look at the latex sources directly, but that proved to 
be too complex.  It takes 
a callback fucntion that receives a scope-tuple and appropriate url. Like:

('map',), "http://dsdfsdfs"
('socket', 'socket'), "http://dsfsdf"
...

Its in the htmlCrawler.py file in the PyXR dist at:

OR you can view the PyXR'ed source (with a description of my assumptions)
