= phenomenon = MirrorManager has a script, generate-worldmap, which makes a nice map (shown at the bottom of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Mirroring ) showing all the public mirrors on a global map.
bapp01 didn't have python-basemap, python-matplotlib, or python-basemap-data installed. It does now. The mirrormanager module should probably install those, though they're infrequently used.
= reason = unforunately, due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=559087 the python-basemap code is unusable.
= recommendation = For this hotfix, I created /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/toolkits/init.py{,c} containing:
from basemap import *
This allows the generate-worldmap script to work again (well almost; s/Agg2/Agg/ on one line due to a different upstream change; but that's done in my home directory only.)
The same init.py fix is now in place on log01 also.
Fixed in newer python-basemap and newer MM, now pushed to production.
