dev-python/basemap-1.0.7-r1 incompatibility with dev-python/matplotlib-2.2.2-r1 It fails on use with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "map.py", line 23, in <module> themap.fillcontinents(color = 'gainsboro',lake_color='steelblue') File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py", line 1767, in fillcontinents axisbgc = ax.get_axis_bgcolor() AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'get_axis_bgcolor' According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49469409/basemap-attribute-python it is caused by dev-python/basemap being too out of date. It supposedly works with basemap 1.1.0.
Old version removed. Please reopen if you can still reproduce.
