It's a map of the historic parishes of England and Wales if you're curious.

I've had problems trying to read shapefiles using the matplotlib basemap toolkit
I can import the shapelib module without error but when I try to read a shapefile this happens:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\cornwall\try_4828.py", line 44, in <module>

self.this = apply(shapelibc.new_ShapeFile,args)
IOError: new_ShapeFile failedAnyone know why this might be?
I'm using basemap 0.99.1 on Windows XP

David Can you post your shapefile somewhere so I can try it here?
