You mean in Python? 'cause if it is a one time shot kind of thing, I would simply open the file in my favorite editor (NEdit) and use a Search and Replace, check the regexp box and type my expression...something along the lines of ([^:]+)://([^:/]+)(: ([0-9]+))?(/.*) to find URLs and then replace with <a href="\0">\0</ a> ...if I remember correctly that \0 is the entire match, \1 the first parenthesised match, etc.
