Try below code with replacing href attribute value with your value.

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@href='href attribute value']");

To locate href attribute usually you can use

//a/@href

but selenium doesn't support this syntax as in selenium you can locate webelements only.

You can try below:

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a").get_attribute('href')

With this line of code you should be able to get href attribute of the first anchor element on the page.
