Rich: You'll have to do it manually with the axes text method. The
drawparallels method can only label them where they intersect the edge
of the map.
Something like this perhaps:
x,y = map(lon, lat) # get desired location in map projection coordinates
ax = pylab.gca() # get current axes instance
t = ax.text(x,y,latlab) # see axes.text docstring for **kwargs
where map is the basemap instance, and lat,lon is where you want the
label (latlab) to go.
latlab can be defined like this:
if latval > 0:
latlab = u'%g\N{DEGREE SIGN}N% latval
else
latlab = u'%g\N{DEGREE SIGN}S% latval
