I am trying to import basemap and am getting the error below. I looked into the issue on stackoverflow and tried the suggestion provided here:
Why do I get "UserWarning: Module dap was already imported from None ..."
When I tried to import using the console it worked fine, but importing in ipython seems to have an issue
