You can transform points in base_link frame to odom frame using TF as follows

listener = tf.TransformListener()
listener.waitForTransform("/base_link", "/odom", rospy.Time(0),rospy.Duration(4.0))
laser_point=PointStamped()
laser_point.header.frame_id = "base_link"
laser_point.header.stamp =rospy.Time(0)
laser_point.point.x=1.0
laser_point.point.y=1.0
laser_point.point.z=0.0
p=listener.transformPoint("odom",laser_point)
