of course... I mean, this won't work without a for loop right?

from urllib2 import urlopen
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

industry_page = "http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/ind_index.html"

def get_industry_urls(industry_page):
	soup  = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(industry_page))
	links = soup.fetch("table")[7].fetch("a")
	return [a['href'] for a in links]

industry_url = "get_industry_urls(industry_page)"

def get_company_index(industry_url):
        soup  = BeautifulSoup(urlopen(industry_url))
        index_link = soup.fetch("table")[11].fetch("a")[2]
        return index_link['href']

print get_company_index(industry_url)
