I've accomplished something similar using OpenCV functions that correlate a
template to an area and return a matrix of correlation ratings. Then finding
in the matrix the extreme value (max or min depending on the function) you can
find your "best match".
Currently I'd advise the ctypes-opencv bindings by Minh-Tri Pham to use the
code from Python. It's quite speedy and works well, just need to play a bit
with the functions to find out which works best for your case.
HTH,
