1) method document_src() requires no parameters
(self is passed implicitly by python)
So you may write 
context['index_html'].write(context.memberIndex.document_src())

2) To create a page template with a content, you may pass it in
constructor:
container.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate('ind
ex_html', 
text=context.memberIndex.document_src())

Enjoy :)
