To get contact notification events you first have to enable this feature via a config option, e. g. like this

from pandac.PandaModules import loadPrcFileData
loadPrcFileData('', 'bullet-enable-contact-events true')

    self.accept('bullet-contact-added', self.onContactAdded)
    self.accept('bullet-contact-destroyed', self.onContactDestroyed)

    boxNP.node().notifyCollisions(True)

The methods which get called must have this signature:

def onContactAdded(self, node1, node2):
