Python 3.13 compatibility

[jameswilburlewis]

basemap does not "pip install" cleanly under Python 3.13. Might be related to some of the pinned upper versions of package dependencies? This environment had numpy 1.26.4 installed (so not a numpy 2.0 issue).

Failing in import setuptools.version is odd; does pip install --no-build-isolation basemap do the same thing?

[molinav]

Currently, Python 3.13 is still not supported by basemap (there is also a pin <3.13 for Python in setup.py). I am aware that Python 3.13 was released last October, and I would like to add the support, but currently I am a bit overloaded at my job.

Hopefully in December I will get some time free (aka Christmas present releases).

@molinav Thanks for checking, I hope I've been good enough this year to be deserving of a nice Christmas release!
