Whatever version of basemap you installed is not compatible with that version of matplotlib. Use the most recent tarball from github.

Also, Basemap is no longer supported! The End of Life has been announced years ago. Stop using basemap, use Cartopy instead!

yes working with cartopy instead of basemap /. Thanks

@WeatherGod The present version of proj.py here on GitHub still has the import of dedent in line 6:

from matplotlib.cbook import dedent

[ReimarBauer]

this should become replaced by

from inspect import cleandoc as dedent

I solved this problem by downgrading matplotlib version to 3.2. Follow the site link:--- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63839163/maplotlib-and-basemap-cannot-import-name-dedent

I just noticed that the basemap version is v1.3.0 from the main conda channel. There is no such release: https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/tags. It would seem that conda accidentally built a package using an older version of the code (because this bug has been fixed for a while now). The correct solution would be to install basemap version 1.2.2 from conda-forge and allow matplotlib to be upgraded to whichever version you'd like.

Also, please move to cartopy!
