Hi @DevAGCO! This is a current known issue. A big package refactoring was done for v1.3.0 and now basemap is split in three parts: basemap, basemap-data and basemap-data-hires. As a consequence, v1.3.0.zip does not contain the setup.py file anymore at the top-level folder but at ./packages/basemap and pip does not know what to do.

Which platform and Python version are you using? It could be that you can take advantage of the new precompiled binary wheels that I uploaded to PyPI, so that you only need to do:

python3 -m pip install basemap

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

python3 -m pip install basemap-data-hires

If you want to install basemap from source, I checked that the following should also work:

python3 -m pip install https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/archive/refs/tags/v1.3.0.zip#subdirectory=packages/basemap

Hi @molinav ! Thank you so much for your prompt and complete answer. I have tested both solutions and it worked ! I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and python 3.8.10. Great job with the lib !
