Answer 1

The problem is that you are using find_all which returns a list in your second forloop where you should use find()

>>> for ul in soup.find_all('ul', class_='listing'):
...     for li in ul.find_all('li'):
...         a = li.find('a')
...         print(a['href'], a.get_text())
... 
http://link1.com title1
http://link2.com title2
http://link3.com title3
http://link4.com title4

You can also use a CSS selector instead of nested forloop

>>> for a in soup.select('.listing li a'):
...     print(a['href'], a.get_text(strip=True))
... 
http://link1.com title1
http://link2.com title2
http://link3.com title3
http://link4.com title4
