title: DataFrame from list of string dicts
body: <p>So I have a list where each entry looks something like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;{'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I am trying to get a dataframe that looks like this</p>
  <pre><code>    A   B   C
  0   1   2   3
  1   4   5   6 
  2   7   8   9
  </code></pre>
  <p>But I'm having trouble converting the format into something that can be read into a DataFrame. I know that pandas should automatically convert dicts into dataframes, but since my list elements are surrounded by quotes, it's getting confused and giving me</p>
  <pre><code>               0
  0  {'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}
  ...
  </code></pre>
  <p>I've tried using using json, concat'ing a list of dataframes, and so on, but to no avail.</p>
