I'm working on a recipe at the moment that needs to do this. Here's what I've got:

# pre-process HTML: Some links are relative. Change them to absolute
def preprocess_html(self, soup):
	for link in soup.findAll('a'):
		if link['href'].startswith('http') == False:
			# Link is relative. Make it absolute
			link['href'] = 'http://www.example.com/' + link['href']
	
	return soup

You'll need to change http://www.example.com/ to whatever URL your site uses.
