Your equation for y uses the new x, not the old x. Be more free with
names. Here's one way to write it:
class ...
def rotate(self, angle):
'''Rotate point angle radians around relPoint'''
x, y = self.coords
xRel, yRel = self.relPoint
sin, cos = math.sin(angle), math.cos(angle)
newx = x * cos - y * sin - xRel * cos + yRel * sin + xRel
newy = x * sin + y * cos - xRel * sin - yRel * cos + yRel
self.coords = newx, newy
If you define a testcase or two, you can catch things like this early.
test = Point(1, 1)
test.rotate(math.pi / 2)
x, y = test.coords
assert (x - -1) ** 2 + (y - 1) ** 2 < .00001
