Description

Hi:

I've recently tried to install basemap using pip on my fedora 23 in py3.4 virtual environment, but:

``` !bash
(py3.4) huziy at thinkpad in ~/Python/Projects/PyNotebooks on master*
$ pip install basemap
Collecting basemap
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement basemap (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for basemap
(py3.4) huziy at thinkpad in ~/Python/Projects/PyNotebooks on master*
$ python
Python 3.4.3 (default, Jun 29 2015, 12:16:01)
[GCC 5.1.1 20150618 (Red Hat 5.1.1-4)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
```

Which is weird, since it worked OK before...

Maybe the versions should be specified in the setup.py?

Cheers

Research direction

Start by reproducing the `pip install basemap` failure in the Python 3.4 virtual environment described, then inspect the package metadata in setup.py. Confirm whether the available package versions declare compatible Python and platform versions; done means pip can discover and install a supported basemap release in that environment.
