How to run selenium python script in current window session?

Question

When I write a selenium python script I need to start a session with some command like

driver = webdriver.Firefox()

However, this opens a new browser window.

I would like to open access to an open script window as if I were running the selenium IDE add-on (which cannot run afaik python scripts).

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to do this?

I've wanted this functionality a lot with Selenium and Python. Unfortunately, it is not part of the current Selenium features.
