What's the easiest way to extract the links on a web page using python without BeautifulSoup?

I'm using cygwin 开发者_开发百科and do not have BeautifulSoup installed.

If you don't care much about performance you can use regular expressions:

import re
linkre = re.compile(r"""href=["']([^"']+)["']""")
links = linkre.findall(your_html)

If you just want links like in http:// links then change the expression to:

linkre = re.compile(r"""href=["']http:([^"']+)["']""")

Or you can put "' as optional if by some chance you have html without them around the links.
