Here is the code I wrote to produce this:
The main bit of magic is the QgsLayerTreeMapCanvasBridge class which will convert your project into a layer tree so that the layers appear in the canvas. If you ever need to make a standalone python application with a nice map in it, consider using the QGIS API to do it!

Thanks for this snippet. When I add a WMS in the project layers, your sample is not working anymore. I've already posted samples on the qgis-users mailing list to illustrate the issue http://osdir.com/ml/qgis-user-gis/2015-10/msg00096.html . Any clue is welcome.
