Take a look at this to see an example of getting a selected mesh and iterating over it with Python:
http://www.rtrowbridge.com/blog/2008/12/09/maya-python-api-getting-mesh-data/ The particular function you want to call is not getPointFromUV but getPointAtUV I dont see a getPointFromUV function as part of MItMeshPolygon of MFnMesh. As far as which one to use, use whatever you can. Often you can do things many ways just like in MEL or whatever you have used. Another thing you need to know is that getPointAtUV needs to be passed a Python float2 pointer for the second argument. To learn about how Python deals with pointers/references read here: http://www.rtrowbridge.com/blog/2009/02/15/maya-api-docs-demystified-for-python-users/ Hopefully that will help you figure out what you are trying to do.
