This is a simple filter I use to display a list of links from a blog entry off in the sidebar (example).

Requires beautifulsoup. Originally by Nathan Borror, tweaked slightly by me.

def getlinks(value):
 try:
   import beautifulsoup
 except ImportError:
   if settings.DEBUG:
     raise template.TemplateSyntaxError, "Error in {% getlinks %} filter: The Python BeautifulSoup and/or urllib2 libraries aren't installed."
   return value
 else:
   soup = beautifulsoup.BeautifulSoup(value)
   return soup.findAll('a')
   
   """
   Returns links found in an (X)HTML string as Python objects for itteration in templates.
   
   EXAMPLE:

   <ul>
     {% for link in blog.entry.body|getlinks %}
        <li><a href="{{ link.href }}">{{ link.title }}</a></li>
     {% endfor %}
   </ul>

   """
