You don't want to do that. Canvases are not meant to be containers where you can pack or grid items. They strangely accept it, but it will never do what you want. If you want to pack or grid items in a container, use a Frame. If you want to include a widget in a Canvas, use a canvas window:

>>> c1 = Canvas(root)
>>> c1.pack()
>>> c2 = Canvas(c1, bd=2, relief=SUNKEN, width=50, height=50)
>>> c1.create_window(20, 20, window=c2, anchor=NW)

Canvas windows are scollable; widgets packed or gridded in Canvases are not. So this really seems to be your problem here.
