Get the inner HTML of a element in lxml

from lxml import etree
print(etree.tostring(root, pretty_print=True))

you may see more examples here: http://lxml.de/tutorial.html

I believe you want to use the tostring() method:

from lxml import etree

tree = etree.fromstring('<html><head><title>foo</title></head><body><div class="name"><p>foo</p></div><div class="name"><ul><li>bar</li></ul></div></body></html>')
for elem in tree.xpath("//div[@class='name']"):
     # pretty_print ensures that it is nicely formatted.
     print etree.tostring(elem, pretty_print=True)
