Hidden line removal in JavaScript or Python?

I have the following task:

  • Input:

    A 3D scene comprised of a set of cuboids. Could be broken down to a set of triangles.

    A description of a camera: position, direction, focal length.

  • Output: 2D wire frame projection of the scene as a set of lines. Important: Hidden lines removal should have been applied.

  • Platform: Web app running on Google App Engine for Python.

Any idea if there is a JavaScript or Python library that does this?

A: 

Maybe the Python Nacrisse interface is useful?

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I doubt that Nacrisse is able to run on Google App Engine: "Unlike many graphics systems, whose functions are actually linked into one's program, Narcisse runs independently, as a graphics server. The user program communicates with Narcisse via Unix sockets." And, as a plotting tool, it may not be capable of doing what I need.
