To get the current page URL using selenium on python use

browser.current_url

instead of

browser.page_source

Here is the changed code:

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('https://www.baidu.com/')
in_put = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="kw"]').send_keys('python')
button = browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="su"]').click()
page = browser.current_url
print(page)
with open('baidu.html', 'w') as f:
    f.write(page)

Output:

https://www.baidu.com/s?ie=utf-8&f=8&rsv_bp=0&rsv_idx=1&tn=baidu&wd=python&rsv_pq=c42791f700000914&rsv_t=d395wla6YQdEj168mrNDyE2%2FUMDzBUE3I%2FcwHbURsI%2FZ5TUaGFq1o83M2Qc&rqlang=cn&rsv_enter=0&rsv_sug3=6&inputT=610&rsv_sug4=611
