Timmie: It's possible that the windows installer is missing the httplib2
module - I don't have access to windows right now to check. Could you
try installing httplib2 and let me know if that fixes it?
Installing httplib2 solved the issue.
Has this dependancy on httplib2 been introduced in the last update?
What are the merits of this dependency?
Could it be made option?
Like that I would only need to have httplib2 if I use functions that load maps
from the web?
Kind regards and thanks for your efforts in developing basemap!

Timmie: No, it has been there for a few releases, but for some reason did not get included in the windows installer this time.

If you install from source, it only installs httplib2 if you don't have it already.

I could do this, but it's only a single python file, so what's the big deal?
Kind regards and thanks for your efforts in developing basemap!

All: I'm using the text() function to place city labels on a map with Basemap. However, many of these cities are so close together that the labels overlap when they're placed on the map.
Is there some way to determine the bounding box for a given text object _before_ placing it on the map, so that I can write an algorithm to detect overlaps?
Alternately, if someone else has some clever way of placing non-conflicting labels on maps, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks,
Mike
