What have you tried?

First try to learn how to read a web page.  You are right to look into urlib
and urlib2.

Its only a handful of lines of code to open a web page and retrieve it to
your system.

Once you do that there is a package called beautiful soup that is a good
tool to read through the tags in the page

Let us know how you are doing.
