Colorize Voronoi Diagram

The Voronoi data structure contains all the necessary information to construct positions for the "points at infinity". Qhull also reports them simply as -1 indices, so Scipy doesn't compute them for you.

I have a much simpler solution to this problem, that is to add 4 distant dummy points to your point list before calling the Voronoi algorithm.

Based on your codes, I added two lines.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.spatial import Voronoi, voronoi_plot_2d

# make up data points
points = np.random.rand(15,2)

# add 4 distant dummy points
points = np.append(points, [[999,999], [-999,999], [999,-999], [-999,-999]], axis = 0)

# compute Voronoi tesselation
vor = Voronoi(points)

# plot
voronoi_plot_2d(vor)

# colorize
for region in vor.regions:
    if not -1 in region:
        polygon = [vor.vertices[i] for i in region]
        plt.fill(*zip(*polygon))

# fix the range of axes
plt.xlim([0,1]), plt.ylim([0,1])

plt.show()

Then the resulting figure just looks like the following.

I don't think there is enough information from the data available in the vor structure to figure this out without doing at least some of the voronoi computation again. Since that's the case, here are the relevant portions of the original voronoi_plot_2d function that you should be able to use to extract the points that intersect with the vor.max_bound or vor.min_bound which are the bottom left and top right corners of the diagram in order figure out the other coordinates for your polygons.

for simplex in vor.ridge_vertices:
    simplex = np.asarray(simplex)
    if np.all(simplex >= 0):
        ax.plot(vor.vertices[simplex,0], vor.vertices[simplex,1], 'k-')

ptp_bound = vor.points.ptp(axis=0)
center = vor.points.mean(axis=0)
for pointidx, simplex in zip(vor.ridge_points, vor.ridge_vertices):
    simplex = np.asarray(simplex)
    if np.any(simplex < 0):
        i = simplex[simplex >= 0][0]  # finite end Voronoi vertex

        t = vor.points[pointidx[1]] - vor.points[pointidx[0]]  # tangent
        t /= np.linalg.norm(t)
        n = np.array([-t[1], t[0]])  # normal

        midpoint = vor.points[pointidx].mean(axis=0)
        direction = np.sign(np.dot(midpoint - center, n)) * n
        far_point = vor.vertices[i] + direction * ptp_bound.max()

        ax.plot([vor.vertices[i,0], far_point[0]],
                [vor.vertices[i,1], far_point[1]], 'k--')
