Shapely provides many basic geometric predicates and operations that might be useful to you. It can diagnose whether the contours you reconstruct cross (and are thereby invalid) and such, and you might be able to take advantage of distance and buffer operations in reconstructing contours, but it doesn't contain any specific procedures or logic for this kind of work. I'm not sure what software to recommend.
