import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui         


        

Answer 1

The other way to get (x,y) coordinates:

def mouseReleaseEvent(self, QMouseEvent):
    print('(', QMouseEvent.x(), ', ', QMouseEvent.y(), ')')

Answer 2

import sys
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtGui, QtCore

class Example(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Example, self).__init__()
        self.initUI()
    def mousePressEvent(self, QMouseEvent):
        print(QMouseEvent.pos())
    def mouseReleaseEvent(self, QMouseEvent):
        cursor = QtGui.QCursor()
        print(cursor.pos())
    def initUI(self):
        qbtn = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Quit', self)
        qbtn.resize(qbtn.sizeHint())
        qbtn.move(50, 50)
        self.setGeometry(0, 0, 1024, 768)
        self.setWindowTitle('Quit button')
        self.setWindowFlags(self.windowFlags() | QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint)
        self.show()
def main():
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Example()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output:

PyQt4.QtCore.QPoint(242, 285)
PyQt4.QtCore.QPoint(1741, 423)
PyQt4.QtCore.QPoint(439, 372)
