Why Ghost is failing to see the javascript

I am new to Ghost and I want to know if I am doing anything wrong. Following is the page content:

  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Javascript scraping test</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p id='intro-text'>No javascript support</p>
    <script>
       document.getElementById('intro-text').innerHTML = 'Yay! Supports javascript';
    </script> 
  </body>
  </html>

And here's my simple code:

>>> page, extra_resources = ghost.open(url)
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content)
>>> soup.find(id="intro-text")
<p id="intro-text">No javascript support</p>

You should wait the page loaded. Your program exits instantly when ghost gets the html code. The js didn't get executed.
