So maybe pyjamas or pyjs might help? http://pyjs.org/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/683462/best-way-to-integrate-python-and-javascript gives a few other python->javascript compilers. I don't know if any are currently active, though. I thought you also had some conclusion about using SVG instead of HTML5 canvas...
