As I'm sure you've noticed, the IE COM component docs really suck ;)

Try using doc.body.innerhtml to grab the html directly instead of
using IE's "save as" function.

You'll also need a loop like:

while ie.ReadyState != 4:
    pass

before that to make sure that the page is completely loaded first.
