Impressive. How is it done?

Well, I hate to provide the disappointing answer, but it really doesn't
work for Postscript. (The name pstricks has perhaps become misleading
over time...)
It inserts special codes in the Postscript that aren't part of the Ps
standard, but that ps2pdf14 is able to convert into the correct Pdf

I did not know that.
Thanks!

Mike: Not quite sure why you need to have it transparent - you
definitely can't have that with postscript, but it should be possible
with the other
Jeff - Yes, that's what I want, thanks.
I think more explanation is in order - my large-scale map is the
default basemap projection. The inset map of the globe is a
orthogonal projection, which means it comes out as a little circle.
I want to insert this smaller map into the larger one,
Jeff - Yes! I'm working on implementing this now for my app...
FYI, I got the following error:
TypeError: drawmapboundary() got an unexpected keyword argument
'fill_color'
and again for 'lake_color' on the fillcontinents() method.
I'm using 0.9.7, which I think is the latest released
