Comment (by reneeotten):

 I am not sure why I am CCed on this ticket... did this occur after the
 latest update of {{{py-matplotlib}}}, or...?

 Upstream states for the current release of {{{py-matplotlib-base}}}:

 "This is quite likely the last release ever of basemap. Please move
 development efforts over to Cartopy!

 This release fixes some incompatibilities with matplotlib v3.3+ and also
 newer versions of libgeos (tested against v1.6.1). Also fixes some
 incompatibilities with the make.py."

 so I wouldn't necessarily expect any fixes for this if it is related to
 the update of {{{matplotlib}}}. It appears that Cartopy is the suggested
 replacement/successor? But it looks like it has
 [https://ports.macports.org/port/py39-matplotlib-basemap/summary never
 build correctly]. Perhaps someone will take a look at this and will be
 able to fix it - likely it will not be me anytime soon though.
