In python, you just have to use 
Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_Basic::elasticEnergy().
O.engines[x].elasticEnergy()

or if this one doesn't work :

e=O.engines[x]//or using labels
e.elasticEnergy()

This one is in shop : static Real kineticEnergy(Scene* _rb=NULL)
You can use it like any other function from shop. Not sure about the 
syntax now, and I need to ruuuun! Sorry.
