Why are tables not working in Python-markdown?

Question

I am trying to render a table into HTML using Markdown syntax with the help of Python-markdown: https://python-markdown.github.io/

I tried the example provided here: https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/tables/

from markdown import markdown

s = """
First Header  | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Content Cell  | Content Cell
Content Cell  | Content Cell
"""

html = markdown(s)
print(html)

But what I get as the result is:

<p>First Header  | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Content Cell  | Content Cell
Content Cell  | Content Cell</p>

What is wrong?

Since tables is an extension, you need to pass its name to markdown.markdown :

html = markdown(s, extensions=['tables'])
