The balance of time to install vs time to re-implement a feature is only
something you can decide, but i suspect it is worth your while getting iris
installed (I would say that as an iris developer though). The installation
process is only going to get easier over time, for instance last week we
added a PPA so that with the necessary repos added you would be able to
"apt-get install python-iris" on an Ubuntu machine - for other installation
guides there is a repository of recipes (
https://github.com/SciTools/installation-recipes ).
As for achieving this without iris, it is perfectly feasible. You just need
to contourf your data with the longitude as your x coordinate and the date
times as your y coordinate. From memory you might also need to tell
matplotlib that the y coordinate is date/time (I think that is a mpl bug
that ajdawson has recently addressed). Obviously, basemap is not needed as
you are not drawing a longitude/latitude plot but a longitude/time or
latitude/time one.
HTH,
