In order for that to work properly, the toolkits have to be "namespace packages". This is fixed in svn for both matplotlib and basemap, so when the next version of matplotlib is released, I'll release a new basemap that can be installed as an egg. It will require some changes in your code though. Specifically, to import basemap you will need to do
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap instead of from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap. -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
