[Image-SIG] Plot multiple lines using python / basemap

[Boris Vladimir Comi]

Hi all:

I have begun to learn about python / matplolib / basemap and really need some help.

  My data is in an Excel workbook with the following structure:

How to open excel file in python?

I would like to plot multiple line joining the positions of each of the events, it is possible to do this? Have any idea how to do it?

The idea is to plot the trajectories on a particular region, for my case is Mexico.
