Parsing an HTML a tag

[Leo Jay]

you may define a start_a in MyHTMLParser.

e.g.
import htmllib
import formatter

class HTML_Parser(htmllib.HTMLParser):
    def __init__(self):
        htmllib.HTMLParser.__init__(self,
            formatter.AbstractFormatter(formatter.NullWriter()))

    def start_a(self, args):
        for key, value in args:
            if key.lower() == 'href':
                print value


html = HTML_Parser()
html.feed(open(r'a.htm','r').read())
html.close()
