Im looking for a tutorial/method/dataset to setup more detailed political
boundaries & also automatically generate major cities on a basemap
projection.
Please help,
Thanks,

P.R.: If you have ESRI shapefiles with political boundaries and/or city data, you can plot them on a Basemap. See the fillstates.py and plotcities.py examples.
Basemap does not have a built-in city dataset, but you can draw political boundaries with the drawcountries and drawstates methods. See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/api/basemap_api.html for details. Note that the drawstates methods just draws states/provinces in North America (Mexico, Canada and the U.S.)
