new release?

[sandrotosi]

GH report 48 commits since 1.1.0 was tagged, maybe it's time for a new release of basemap?

[megies]

Totally +1 especially since 1.1.0 will break with matplotlib 2.3 (or well, looks like it's gonna be 3.0), see #382.

[WeatherGod]

I'll see if I can find time to cut a v1.2 release this week.

On this note, would it be possible to get a new release in Pypi also? The version there is still 1.0.7.
I just hit matplotlib issue #395 - basemap 1.0.7 apparently does not work with matplotlib 2.2.2, both of which I installed with pip.

I see this has been discussed elsewhere too, though: #251

Hi there,

Just ran into #395 as well. Wondering when a new version will be pushed to PyPI?

Installing basemap 1.2 with Conda actually downgraded my Matplotlib all the way to 1.5. Yikes. Is this really necessary, or should I take it up with the maintainers on Conda Forge?

[efiring]

That's odd. What happens if you now do "conda update matplotlib"? And, what do you have in your ~/.condarc file?

[gwerbin]

@efiring conda update matplotlib allowed it to go all the way up to 3.0.0. I think something odd was happening with the dependency solver because conda update --all just bumped a ton of packages up. My ~/.condarc is pretty much stock, except I added conda-forge to my channels.

[phobson]

@gwerbin did you specify conda-forge in the update/install commands? For example:

$ conda update matplotlib basemap --channel=conda-forge

or

$ conda update --all --channel=conda-forge

[gwerbin]

No. I think my setup was just mildly "broken", I have a ton of packages installed and I'm deep in dependency hell anyway.

[sandrotosi]

@WeatherGod any update on a possible new release?

[xylar]

With the merge of #454, it would be especially nice to have a release of basemap that supports the latest proj4/pyproj. basemap is starting to cause major compatibility problems with other packages on conda-forge, which have moved on to pyproj>=2 and proj4>=6.

[molinav]

There is a new release available (1.3.0). This release also brings some precompiled binary wheels to PyPI, and basemap is split in three parts in a similar way to what Anaconda does. With pip, now it should be as simple as:

python -m pip install basemap

and, in case that you also need the high-resolution datasets:

python -m pip install basemap-data-hires
