I asked for a hint too soon. A light went on, and I think I'm on the way with

from urllib2 import *
u = 'http://starship.python.net/crew/index.html'
f = urlopen(u)
a =  f.read()
b = a.split('"')
print b
for x in b:
     if '<' not in x:
         print x

This gets all, but not only, those ">jcooley<" things, I believe.

Now I'll check my email for the hint I asked for..
