Adam:
From the basemap docs;
shiftgrid(lon0, datain, lonsin, start=True)
shift global lat/lon grid east or west.
assumes wraparound (or cyclic point) is included.
lon0: starting longitude for shifted grid
(ending longitude if start=False). lon0 must be on
input grid (within the range of lonsin).
datain: original data.
lonsin: original longitudes.
start[True]: if True, lon0 represents the starting longitude
of the new grid. if False, lon0 is the ending longitude.
returns dataout,lonsout (data and longitudes on shifted grid).
You did
values, lon = basemap.shiftgrid(180, values, lon)
but I think you want
values, lon = basemap.shiftgrid(180, values, lon, start=False)
HTH,
