pd.read_html() imports a list rather than a dataframe
<p>I used <code>pd.read_html()</code> to import a table from a webpage but instead of structuring the data as a dataframe Python imported it as a list.  How can I import the data as a dataframe?  Thank you!</p>

<p>The code is the following:</p>

<pre><code>import pandas as pd

import html5lib

url = 'http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/failed/banklist.html'

dfs = pd.read_html(url)

type(dfs)

Out[1]: list
</code></pre>
