Agreed. The BeautifulSoup approach is particularly nice (although not
part of stdlib):

>>> import urllib
>>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
>>> html = urllib.urlopen('http://www.python.org/').read()
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
>>> links = [link['href'] for link in soup('link')]
>>> links[0]
