Thanks for all your help. It is finally working. Another commit pulled out my declare_nmsp in mpl/__init__.py and I needed to specify the matplotlib module in basemap's setup.py for the __init__.py to get included in the install.

Here are the eggs if you want to unzip and look at them. I installed both unzipped.

There are two issues that I saw. First, the matplotlib egg above does not declare a namespace in its matplotlib/__init__.py. Second, the basemap egg does not contain a matplotlib/__init__.py at all.

Please note that you *must* include an __init__.py file for every namespace package and parent package thereof, in *every* egg that's part of the namespace package, and that these __init__.py files must all contain a namespace declaration. Missing even one can cause problems. For example, the basemap egg is simply not importable, because as far as Python is concerned it does not contain a matplotlib package (due to the missing __init__.py).
