I hope the code below gives you some idea.
def Tc(Tf): return (5./9.)*(Tf-32)
ax1 = subplot(111) # y-axis in F
ax2 = twinx() # y-axis in C
def update_ax2(ax1):
y1, y2 = ax1.get_ylim()
ax2.set_ylim(Tc(y1), Tc(y2))
# automatically update ylim of ax2 when ylim of ax1 changes.
ax1.callbacks.connect("ylim_changed", update_ax2)
ax1.plot([78, 79, 79, 77])
