I was writing a code to find out whether the coordinates am interested is found inside or outside a rectangle. I found that there is a function "contain_points", which will serve the purpose, equivalent of "inpolygon" in Matlab. I was unable to find any document on implementation or example of this function. Can anyone suggest how this works?

Take a look at shapely library. It is the de facto standard when dealing with 2D polygons in python (and many other languages, since it it a wrapping of GEOS C++ library).
An example of what you want:
from shapely.geometry import Point, Polygon
p = Point(0.0, 0.0)
poly = Polygon([(1, 1), (-1, 1), (-1, -1), (1, -1)])
is_included = poly.contains(p)
is_included is True now.
