How to index a whole string as opposed to letter in list-CodePudding

I'm trying to append a string of words into a list however when I try to index that list, it gives back individual letters.

For example:

url = 'https://almostginger.com/famous-movie-locations/'


titles = []
r = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'lxml')
titles = soup.select('h3')
for t in titles:
    tt = t.text.strip()
    for s in range(len(tt)):
        print(s)

Shows that only individual letters are indexed, whereas if I'm trying to create a list, I get the error:

titles.append(tt)

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'text'

Expected outcome:

'Café des Deux Moulins as seen in Amélie (2001)',
'Royal Palace of Caserta as seen in Angels and Demons (2009)'

You get an error simply because of a duplicate variable name. Change one of the titles to something else.

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = 'https://almostginger.com/famous-movie-locations/'

titles_ = []
r = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'lxml')
titles = soup.select('h3')
for t in titles:
    tt = t.text.strip()
    titles_.append(tt)
titles_

This is a good use-case for a list comprehension:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS

with requests.Session() as session:
    r = session.get('https://almostginger.com/famous-movie-locations/')
    r.raise_for_status()
    soup = BS(r.text, 'lxml')
    titles = [title.text '\n' for title in soup.select('h3')]
    print(*titles)
