Hi,

import urllib
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

page = urllib.urlopen(url) # url is the page address, if you are reading 
a file in your hard drive you could use just open(filename) too, and no 
needing to urllib
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)

#links = [str(link) for link in soup.findAll('a')]
links = soup.findAll('a')

I have used list compherension, comment outed line, because findAll 
function returns a different type specific to BeautifulSoup. First line, 
list compherension used converts every link to string.

Happy coding...
