Rich: I think this is happening because matplotlib (and the basemap toolkit) needs to use namespace packages (http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#namespace-packages) in order for the basemap stuff to be picked up from the matplotlib.toolkits namespace when basemap is installed as an egg. If it's installed using distutils (instead of setuptools), the basemap stuff just gets written in the matplotlib toolkits directory directly, and everything works fine. I think namespace packages were being used before, but were removed. I don't remember why. Until we get this fixed, I think your symlink trick is the only way to get it to work with python2.3. The warning message appears to be harmless. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
