You can try to create a cylinder of facets. There are 2 opportunities:
1) geom.facetCylinder [1]
2) import geometry (mesh or stl) from external file (see
examples/packs/packs.py).

But in this case the cylinder will not be dynamic, i.e. it will not
move because of interaction with
other bodies. So you have to predict its motion explicitly.
