 This page lists the packages (usually) installed in the LSCE-IPSL CDAT versions that are not available in the standard UV-CDAT (i.e. there are no //ccmake// configuration switches to get them installed).
+===== Requests =====
+  * Web site: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/
+  * Required by:
+==== Versions installed ====
+^  UV-CDAT\\ version  ^  JYP\\ installation  ^  Package\\ version  ^  Date  ^
+|  2.1.0  |  LSCE_13  |  2.8.1  |  Oct 20 2015  |
+|  2.1.0  |  ciclad_13  |  2.8.1  |  Oct 20 2015  |
+==== Installing ====
+  * HOWTO: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/install/
+  * ''pip install requests''
+==== Testing ====
+Check the installed version with: ''python -c 'import requests; print requests.%%__version__%%' ''
+===== PIL and pillow =====
+FIXME **Clean this section!** FIXME
+PIL does not seem to be maintained any longer and should be replaced by pillow
+  * Web site: https://pillow.readthedocs.org/
+  * Required by: basemap
+    * implicitely used by basemap to [[http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/geography.html|plot etopo, bluemarble, etc]]
+=== Replacing PIL with pillow ===
+[[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8915296/python-image-library-fails-with-message-decoder-jpeg-not-available-pil|More information]]
+<code>pip uninstall PIL
+pip install pillow
+</code>
+=== Testing ===
+Check the installed version with
+<code>python -c 'import PIL; print dir(PIL)'
+['PILLOW_VERSION', 'VERSION', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '_plugins']
+</code>
+Use one of the [[http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/geography.html|basemap examples]] to check if everything is working
+<code>from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+# setup Lambert Conformal basemap.
+# set resolution=None to skip processing of boundary datasets.
+m = Basemap(width=12000000,height=9000000,projection='lcc',
+            resolution=None,lat_1=45.,lat_2=55,lat_0=50,lon_0=-107.)
+m.bluemarble()
+plt.show()
+</code>
