How do I force a canvas text object to stay within a rectangle?

You could use the width option of the text object:
c = Canvas(root)
c.create_text(10, 10, text="A very long string indeed", width=5)
but this will split it every 5th pixel... better off inserting line 
feeds where you want them!
c.create_text(10, 10, text="A very long\nstring indeed", width=5)
