Comment (by jbrundle):

 So here is the problem.  I have been using cartopy to make nice looking
 maps.  As of 7/31/2023, stamen.com, the company that has supplied the
 topography map tiles, has announced they will no longer do this, and will
 migrate that service to stadia.com as of 10/31/2023.  However, their
 migration seems to be confined to web apps, not python.  So matplotlib
 python codes that use cartopy/map tiles will no longer look as nice.

 I have been looking for alternatives.  For years, the standard in map
 making has been Generic Mapping Tools (GMT).  There is a python version:
 https://www.pygmt.org/latest/  I was hoping that I could simply import
 this and use it.  I found several Macports packages:  gmt4, gmt5, gmt6.
 As I mentioned previously, I can install them, but when I try to import
 it, it does not import.

 Simplest thing would be to have pygmt be a port for Macports if that can
 be done.
