This is not really a pygame-related question. At least include some additional
details. Your question is really vague.

Perhaps you will also benefit from reading this:

Just keep track of the 2 biggest IR points, and use trigonometry to calculate the distance to the edge between the IR based on their spacing. Then use the default IR spacing of the Wii hardware (and a camera field of view of 45 degrees) to calculate how far you are from it.
It's pretty simple math.
Check wiibrew.net/com/org (whichever it is) and wiili.org, specifically the Wii Remote articles. They have some details about IR.
Let me know if you have more specific questions about the Wii Remote (you can ask me off-list if you want.)
