basemap for py3.4

Hi

Would it be a train smash to get basemap included in your Python 3.4 batteries?

Ah. Last time we checked I think basemap didn't support Python 3. Does it now? Can you point us to some installation instructions?

Well...

According to http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/installing.html, yes.

But as I was deving on Win at the time, I got it, numpy, and matplotlib, from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs

I am busy setting it up from source on a Debian box and so will post my experience in due time.

It installed fine on Debian from source

cd basemap-1.0.7/
cd geos-3.3.3/
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
python3.4 setup.py install

Calls to basemap were working.

Cool. We'll see about getting that installed soon.

It took a while, but basemap is now installed for Python 3.x.
