Brett's code for the mask matched the loop of your post. However, taking a second look at it, I don't see why it would work. Mind trying something like

# Selection on the NS axis
yselect = (mydata[:,1] <= N) & (mydata[:,1] >= S)
# selection on the EW axis
xselect = (mydata[:,1] <= E) & (mydata[:,1] >= W)
# Global selection
selected_data = mydata[xselect & yselect]

Now you can check in selected data that the coordinates are indeed in the rectangle that you want, and take the min/max of your data as needed.
let me know how it goes
