[conda] Trouble importing Basemap

[Gideon Aswani]

I am getting the following error when I import Basemap from
mpl_toolkits.basemap

KeyError Traceback (most recent call last)<ipython-input-4-436bebfa77d4> in <module>() 9 from matplotlib.patches import Polygon 10 from matplotlib.collections import PatchCollection---> 11 from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap 12 from scipy import stats 13 import matplotlib.patches as mpatches
~/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mpl_toolkits/basemap/__init__.py in <module>() 153 154 # create dictionary that maps epsg codes to Basemap kwargs.--> 155 pyproj_datadir = os.environ['PROJ_LIB'] 156 epsgf = open(os.path.join(pyproj_datadir,'epsg')) 157 epsg_dict={}
~/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/os.py in __getitem__(self, key) 667 except KeyError: 668 # raise KeyError with the original key value--> 669 raise KeyError(key) from None 670 return self.decodevalue(value) 671
KeyError: 'PROJ_LIB'


How do I resolve this issue?

Hi Gideon,

Did you read the message in the top of the forum ?

If this is a specific issue of a conda package, you wont get an answer
here, search for the github feedstock repository and post there your issue.
Do some investigation first, as it might not be a packaging issue, and
provide more context.

Good luck.
