All BeautifulSoup does is parse html. It doesn't run javascript.  To
obtain the html after the javascript has run, or to interact with the
Javascript you'll need a tool like Selenium[1], which has drivers for
Python and also Chrome or Firefox.  In other words you need a real
browser running that can execute the javascript.  After that you can
extract the html results using BeautifulSoup.

Google for many tutorials on using Selenium with python.
