I found this document that looks like it described the "graphics" module that you are using (it does describe the getCenter call that you showed):

  http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python/graphics/graphics.pdf <http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python/graphics/graphics.pdf>

If this is the module, then Points are objects, and what you are seeing is the memory address of those points.  Section 3.1 of the document describes how you can call the getX() and getY() methods on any point to get the x and y values:
getX() Returns the x coordinate of a point. Example: xValue = aPoint.getX()

getY() Returns the y coordinate of a point. Example: yValue = aPoint.getY() 

Therefore, it sounds like you need to take the Point object that you have, and call the getX method and alto the getY method to get the coordinates you want.

Hope that helps,
