a is the element tag, title is an attribute of the htmlanchorelement.

combining bs4 with python structures allows you to find all the specified 
attributes of an element type, for example to find the class attributes 
of all the paragraphs with a class attribute:

stuff = [p.attrs['class'] for p in soup.find_all('p') if 'class' in 
p.attrs]

Then you can do this

for thing in stuff:
    print thing

(Python 2.7)

This may be adaptable to your requirement.
