Quick Tip: The easiest way to grab data out of a web page in Python:
It’s that simple! Pandas will find any significant html tables on the page and return each one as a new DataFrame object.
The demo ends up as:
import pandas as pd
calls_df, = pd.read_html("http://apps.sandiego.gov/sdfiredispatch/", header=0, parse_dates=["Call Date"])
calls_df.to_csv("calls.csv", index=False)

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
