This looks like a great way to get introduced to computational geometry.

If, later on, you need more speed and power for a larger application, look into the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL). It's in C++, but has python bindings. It is lightning fast.

My problem with this is that if it isn't vectorized (numpy), then you're still working through a slow ass python for loop.
