Have you tried setting the color argument in fillcontinents() with a RGBA
tuple? Even if that doesn't work, you still have a list of
matplotlib.patches.Polygon objects being returned by the function. You
could then call set_alpha() on each of them to a transparency value of
choice.
I hope that helps!
