Below you find some sample code that uses htmllib.
Hope this helps.

import htmllib, formatter, StringIO, urllib

class HTMLStripper(htmllib.HTMLParser):
    def __init__(self):
        self.bodytext = StringIO.StringIO()
        writer = formatter.DumbWriter(self.bodytext)
        htmllib.HTMLParser.__init__(self,
            formatter.AbstractFormatter(writer))

    def anchor_end(self):
        if self.anchor:
            self.handle_data('')
            self.anchor = None

    def gettext(self):
        return self.bodytext.getvalue()

f = urllib.urlopen('http://www.python.org/').read()       
st = HTMLStripper()
st.feed(f)
st.close()
print st.gettext()
print st.anchorlist
