Matplotlib - Basemap Installation Error

Question

Installed basemap via pip pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap.git

from mpl_tooklits.basemap import Basemap

I get the error module 'pyproj' has no attribute 'pyproj_datadir' found here https://imgur.com/QauL5NI

Any advice on how to resolve this? I tried going into the pyproj folder and change the init.py from pyproj_datadir to just datadir. That led to more errors, so I reversed that. I'd like to not change the source files too much.

Answer 1

After the same installation procedure, I had the same problem.

Downgrading pyproj from version 2.1.3 to 1.9.3 solved the problem for me.
