Answer 1

No need to import other libraries. Request has this functionality in-built.

>>> hearders = {'headers':'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0'}
>>> n = requests.get('http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108778/', headers=hearders)
>>> al = n.text
>>> al[al.find('')]
u'Friends (TV Series 1994\u20132004) - IMDb'

Update after ZN13's comment

>>> import re
>>> import requests
>>> n = requests.get('https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15/docs/html/guideinputkeyboard.html')
>>> al = n.text
>>> d = re.search('<\W*title\W*(*)>> d.group(1)
u'Handling the Keyboard'

This will work for all cases whether extra non alphabetical characters are present with title tag or not.
