title: How to create pandas DataFrame with index from the list of tuples
body: <p>What would be the best way to create pandas DataFrame with index from records.
  Here is my sample:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sales = [('Jones LLC', 150, 200, 50),
       ('Alpha Co', 200, 210, 90),
       ('Blue Inc', 140, 215, 95)]
  labels = ['account', 'Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar']
  df = pd.DataFrame.from_records(sales, columns=labels)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need 'Account' to be an index here (not a column) 
  Thanks</p>
