When writing tests with selenium how can you view the resulting HTML?

Take for example the following selenium test in python:

 import unittest
 from selenium import webdriver
 from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

 class PythonOrgSearch(unittest.TestCase):

     def setUp(self):
         self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()

     def test_search_in_python_org(self):
         driver = self.driver
         driver.get("http://www.python.org")
         self.assertIn("Python", driver.title)
         elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
         elem.send_keys("selenium")
         elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
         self.assertIn("Google", driver.title)

     def tearDown(self):
         self.driver.close()

 if __name__ == "__main__":
     unittest.main()

Taken from: http://selenium-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#id2

The resulting output is something like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 15.566s

OK

Is there any way to get selenium to output the html after it has executed its browser actions?

Basically, I am using Selenium IDE for Firefox to record actions on the browser. I want to play them back on python, get the resulting html, and based on that html take further action (e.g. the 1st selenium test might be to log on to a website and navigate somewhere. Based on what is there I want to conduct a second test (w. the user still logged on)). Is this possible using selenium?

Thanks in Advance!

It sounds as though your tests might end up being dependant on each other, which is a very very bad idea.

Nonetheless, the page_source function will return the full HTML of the current page the driver is looking at:
