You can certainly show a java canvas on a web-page. You create a java applet with the canvas in it, and use the regular OBJECT or APPLET tags to create it.
You can do something similar in Python using Jython to compile the applet from python code into a java .class file. You can't do it directly in Python, however. There have been attempts to create a Python plug-in akin to the java applet support. In addition Grail (the Python implemented browser) supports Python applets. But OBJECT doesn't have the behaviour of running an arbitrary script on any browser that cares for security of the user. In particular the W3C example for HTML OBJECT tag (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.3.1) doesn't work on mainstream browsers. Nor is it ever likely to, since Python currently has a fundamentally flawed restricted execution model (i.e. it isn't designed to run code in a sand-box, so isn't secure for running untrusted code, unlike Java).
