This is almost entirely outside the Python domain and all within
your 3rd party environment. Do they have a user forum or mailing
list? You will probably get better results asking there?

Another possibility is that you are using a Python wrapper around
a C (or other language) library and there might be FAQs, fora or
lists supporting that. If so you should be able to translate
their examples to your Python code?

In terms of generic solutions the only thing I can suggest that
might help is to research collision detection algorithms.
Wikipedia is likely a good starting point.
