Lionel: Basemap can't be installed as an egg because it exists as a
subpackage of matplotlib. In order for that to work properly, the
toolkits have to be "namespace packages". This is fixed in svn for both
matplotlib and basemap, so when the next version of matplotlib is
released, I'll release a new basemap that can be installed as an egg.
It will require some changes in your code though. Specifically, to
import basemap you will need to do
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
instead of
from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap.
