Self Contained Network Recommendation
P.S. My app is written in Python and I am using stem library to controll TOR. It would be amazing if the SCN you recommend has such a library for control. If not, no wrries, I can research.

Using as tor a library
However I want to use it as a 'library' not as a 'binary' like what the tor-android (TorService.java) and libtor-go does.

Embedding Tor into an application without external installation.
https://github.com/ipsn/go-libtor and https://github.com/cretz/bine are excellent libraries to get you started. They do exactly what you are asking.

Create Tor hidden service using only python or nodeJS
I don't know about python or node, but there is this project (https://github.com/ipsn/go-libtor) that is a fully Golang library for interacting with Tor without the tor daemon from the OS repos. Golang has python and NodeJS bindings so you could use a Golang program as a the glue code between the python/node pieces and Tor.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing stem and go-libtor you can also consider the following projects:
torpy - Pure python Tor client implementation
bine - Go library for accessing and embedding Tor clients and servers
tor-android - Tor binary and library for Android
TorWall - Tallow - Transparent Tor for Windows
tor - unofficial git repo -- report bugs/issues/pull requests on https://gitlab.torproject.org/ --
g3n - Go 3D Game Engine (http://g3n.rocks)
i2p.socket - drop in python socket module that uses i2p
orbot - The Github home of Orbot: Tor on Android (Also available on gitlab!)
OnionShare - Securely and anonymously share files, host websites, and chat with friends using the Tor network
txi2p - I2P bindings for Twisted.
