wmsimage() Error AttributeError: 'ResponseWrapper' object has no attribute 'url'

[danhamill]

On my window machine I can use the following script to connect to a wms server:

from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


#map bounds
min_lon = -111.8007170968785
max_lon = -111.79885067564109
min_lat = 36.194658377025071
max_lat = 36.200643218289684

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
m = Basemap(projection='merc', 
            epsg=cs2cs_args.split(':')[1], 
            llcrnrlon=(min_lon- 0.0007), 
            llcrnrlat=(min_lat - 0.0006),
            urcrnrlon=(max_lon + 0.0005), 
            urcrnrlat=(max_lat + 0.0006))
m.wmsimage(server='http://grandcanyon.usgs.gov/arcgis/services/Imagery/ColoradoRiverImageryExplorer/MapServer/WmsServer?', layers=['1'], xpixels=1000)
plt.show()

However, when I try to connect on my UNIX machine I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'ResponseWrapper' object has no attribute 'url'

Duplicate of #259 and fixed therein. Either downgrade owslib or install basemap from the master branch which has the fix.

I am currently working on getting the packaged data fixed so that I can put out a new release, but I am running into issues with the updated data.
