Re: [Matplotlib-users] Eggs and toolkits

[Charlie M. <cw...@gm...>]

We haven't put support in yet, but it is very easy to do.  I will add
this to cvs very soon.  For now:

Edit basemap's setup.py and replace "from distutils.core import setup"
with "from setuptools import setup".

In BOTH mpl's and basemap's setup.py file add this option to the setup
method, "namespace_packages =3D 'matplotlib.toolkits'".

Both mpl and basemap should be installed as eggs.  The namespace is
how setuptools know separate packages share... a namespace.

Let us know if you run into problems.
