Sure -- just use a class to store the coord data, and implement the
__call__ method so it can be used as a callback
 class Coords:
 def __init__(self):
 self.x, self.y = None, None
 def __str__(self):
 return 'x=%s, y=%s'%(self.x, self.y)
 def __call__(self, event):
 if event.button!=1: return
 x,y = event.xdata, event.ydata
 if x is not None: axzoom.set_xlim(x-0.05, x+0.05)
 if y is not None: axzoom.set_ylim(y-0.05, y+0.05)
 figzoom.canvas.draw()
 self.x, self.y = x, y
 coords = Coords()
 figsrc.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', coords)
Then you can use coords.x and coords.y wherever you want...

Thanks for the solution. That gives me a good starting point
for further development. However, now I have a follow up
question. Is there a way to return the x and y positions of the
button click from the event (out to the main program I mean).
Cheers

Something like this?
from pylab import figure, show, nx
figsrc = figure()
figzoom = figure()
axsrc = figsrc.add_subplot(111, xlim=(0,1), ylim=(0,1), autoscale_on=False)
axzoom = figzoom.add_subplot(111, xlim=(0.45,0.55), ylim=(0.4,.6), autoscale_on=False)
axsrc.set_title('Click to zoom')
axzoom.set_title('zoom window')
x,y,s,c = nx.mlab.rand(4,200)
s *= 200
axsrc.scatter(x,y,s,c)
axzoom.scatter(x,y,s,c)
def onpress(event):
 if event.button!=1: return
 x,y = event.xdata, event.ydata
 axzoom.set_xlim(x-0.1, x+0.1)
 axzoom.set_ylim(y-0.1, y+0.1)
 figzoom.canvas.draw()
figsrc.canvas.mpl_connect('button_press_event', onpress)
show()
 

I am using matplotlib to display an image, then click on the image to 
get the x,y center of
an object in that image. Using this x,y position I would like to 
display a zoomed in version
of the image in another window. I am however confused on how to 
generate the second
window and how to deal with the fact that I now want the button click 
in window 2 to another
event function.
