Have considered BeautifulSoup?

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
from urlparse import urlparse

for a in BeautifulSoup(page)("a"):
    try:
        href = a["href"]
    except KeyError:
        pass
    else:
        url = urlparse(href)
        if url.hostname == "mysite.com":
            print href
