OS X 10.7.4 using python and tools from fink: 
i   python27                         1:2.7.3-1
i   python27-shlibs                  1:2.7.3-1
i   matplotlib-basemap-py27          1.0.2-1
i   matplotlib-py27                  1.1.1-1
i   numpy-py27                       1.6.1-1

Thanks to the folks who make this work,
