I installed basemap 0.7 and 0.7.2 both gave the same error across projections that worked in basemap 0.6.
I am running matplotlib 0.84, basemap 0.72, OS X 10.3.9, python 2.3. Does basemap 0.7.2 require 2.4 ?

The error:
In [8]: m = Basemap(llcrnrlon=-119,llcrnrlat=22,urcrnrlon=-64,urcrnrlat=49,projection='lcc',lat_1=33,lat_2=45,lon_0=-95)
