Hi,
An easy way is to use the data from http://www.gadm.org/ and to plot it with
m.readshapefile()

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] How to draw a specific country by basemap?
Hi all,
I'm using the Basemap module in matplotlib, it's great to draw a
world map but for a specific country. Empirically, one can draw its
own country by specifying the lats and longs like this example:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/users/geography.html
And you can use the method: drawcontries() to draw the country
boundries, but all the countries are in the same colour. Does anyone
know how to highlight a specific country? Thanks in advance.
Eric
