Yes, there is.

If you need to go the other way round, just do the basic algebra:

  x = (x_new - x0)/xx
  y = (y_new - y0)/yy

I think you need to read the answer from Bryce more carefully, it's there...

Also the values you get from "event.motion.x" and "event.motion.y" are 
integers.

============
BEFORE mx my: 201,665 | 252,93
AFTER mx my: 1,6646 | 2,93018
DRAGGING 3
============

...so the "BEFORE" values should be whole numbers here.
