Python and some of the standard GUI toolkits themselves do not have a builtin method to display FITS images (they are simply too specialized), but I am sure one of the external scientific modules that handle astronmoy will do just that.
I know the PyFITS module will (NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center), see:

yes there are some FITS file viewers like DS9 I can invoke this application through my python program and it is displaying the image but I want to display the fits image in my own application in an image canvas( box ) .
