I used pytraj to do something essentially like this.
When you use native contacts in pytraj it will spit out either an
OrderedDictionary or pandas.DataFrame object for you.
>From that you can build up a set of 'distance' or 'vector' commands that
you can feed to pytraj.compute or pytraj.pmap.
Again, this would yield a corresponding OrderedDictionary or DataFrame
object that you can analyze appropriately.

Alternatively, you could load your output csv or data table generated by
the cpptraj HBond or nativecontacts command into python using
'pandas.read_csv' and start from there if you don't want to re-run the
native-contacts command in pytraj.
