I finally got time to try this, and it didn't help much. Changing all the packages to dot notation works fine. I have added the toolkits/__init__.py file. Setuptools warns about not having declare_namespace in the init files. I have added this: try: __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__) print __name__, __file__ except ImportError: pass # must not have setuptools to __init__.py in mpl's and basemap's matplotlib and matplotlib.toolkits module, hence in 4 places. Upon starting python I get this output: matplotlib /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib-0.86.2cvs-py2.4-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/__init__.pyc matplotlib.toolkits /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib-0.86.2cvs-py2.4-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/toolkits/__init__.pyc So the basemap declarations are never being reached. Where should I go from here? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
