Basemap not imported correctly: matplotlib import error?

[drphilmarshall]

Not sure if this is a syntax or import error - it says the latter but I don't know the correct spelling. I'm getting this from the binder instance - do we need to add matplotlib to the requirements.txt, do you think?

from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
from matplotlib.collections import PolyCollection

---

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
2 from matplotlib.collections import PolyCollection

ImportError: No module named basemap

yes, we should add mpl_toolkits in requirements.txt (conda install basemap)

Go for it! :-)

I added RUN conda install basemap on Dockerfile. Unfortunately the disk of the binder server was full when I tried to build the notebook and the process is halted. However, there is a built version in which everything works except for the basemap part. To make it work you can add before that cell !conda install basemap -y and it will install the package and run without any trouble. Could you please try if you can build it?

I think this can now be closed - see #18.
