BeautifulSoup getting href

I am using beautiful soup and below is my code

import urllib2
data = urllib2.urlopen("some_url")
html_data = data.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_data)
href_tags = soup.findAll('a')

result:

href_tags = 
[<a href="http://www.exampl.com/score_card" target="_blank" style="font-family:arial;color:#192e94;">Click Here</a>, 
<a href="https://example.icims.com/jobs/search?pr=5">what is this</a>,
<a href="https://example.com/search?pr=6">Cool</a>,
<a href="https://example.com/help/host/search?pr=7">Hello</a>]

But actually i want href from all anchor tags , how can i extract href tags.

Thanks in advance………

Try looping over the matches:

import urllib2
data = urllib2.urlopen("some_url")
html_data = data.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_data)

for a in soup.findAll('a',href=True):
    print a['href']
