I just want the outlines of selected countries… that should be easy, right?

I found D3.js to be more useful for things like outlines of coutries and selections. And vincent is supposedly a python interface on top of D3 compatible with IPython notebooks. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vincent/0.1.6

I just want a .png this time, but agree about d3js being the way to go, especially if you want country outlines that move! I’m very interested in that vincent project you linked, but I fear it has been a bit abandoned: https://github.com/wrobstory/vincent/graphs/contributors Maybe it is coming back, though.
