Usually in Python you use one of the helper methods to get a specific <link>
element out. If you look in the documentation, for example:

http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/developers_guide_python.html

You'll notice "GetEditLink()" used on the entry objects to return that
entry's edit link. What is an edit link? Well, to answer that you should
read up more on the Data APIs and AtomPub:
