Python matplotlib basemap using northing and easting coordinates

Question

I have to plot UTM coordinates (easting and northing) on a map and I wanted to do that with the matplotlib basemap toolkit in python.

Is there a way to use these coordinates directly or do I have to convert them into lat and long coordinates? If I have to convert them is there an easy way to do it?

thank you!

I don't think that Basemap accepts UTM coordinates, for the conversion from UTM to lat/lon you might want to look into e.g. GDAL — Bart

Okay, I found an answer: At http://pypi.python.org/pypi/utm there is a UTM conversion library (written by TBieniek). It is also possible to convert UTM with pyproj.

I found the answer here: lat/lon to utm to lat/lon is extremely flawed, how come?
