[Matplotlib-users] Read and plot point Shapefile with Basemap

[Ronquillo, Edgar Nahum]

Hello all,
I am currently using Basemap to map a shapefile into a map which works perfect with some shapefiles. I notice it doesn't work with point shapefiles which are only points in a map. Do I have to use another strategy to plot this points from the shapefile? I was thinking to extract the latitude and longitude points from the shapefile and plot those, however, I do not know if that is the best approach. Any feedback would be great.

Thanks so much

I think Fiona is what you are looking for. I use it regularly for the exact
same purpose.
