import pandas as pd

url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population'
table = pd.read_html(url)
new_table = table[4]
new_table = new_table.set_index('Rank')
new_table = new_table.drop('Source(official or UN)', axis=1)
new_table = new_table.drop('% of world', axis=1)
print(new_table)

new_table.to_html('C:/Users/eli/Desktop/simple.html')
