I've started to looked into this since support for basemap is officially vanishing in 2020 along with the deprecation of Python 2. Some issues (of widely varying severity):

  • The structure of cartopy is quite different, returning various objects that are passed into matplotlib axis. This will require some fairly major restructuring.
  • Development of cartopy seems a bit scattered. It is unclear how stable it is.
  • Cartopy doesn't have the McBryde-Thomas projection that we've come to know and love in DES.
