python - Electronic Structure mapping: point outside polygon like shape -

i have been working electronic structure mapping. used python write code in have polygon shape (not polygon) , have set of x , y coordinates. first had check whether points inside polygon or outside. pretty able do. problem want calculate distance between polygon , points outside polygon. can me that?

here code:

note: c14list.dat file importing set of points , format (<element name> <x-axis><y-axis>)

laves kind of polygon
