Which operating system are you using? If it is GNU/Linux (x86 o x64), you can use the precompiled binaries available in PyPI:

python -m pip install "basemap == 1.3.0b1" "basemap-data == 1.3.0b1"

It is the same problem as in #525, the direct pip installation from the GitHub repo is not working anymore because I have been restructuring the project folder structure in order to make the wheel packaging easier.

You would only need to install explicitly basemap-data until we have a stable release of 1.3.0 in PyPI, at that point basemap will install basemap-data automatically as dependency. If you need the high resolution datasets, you can install them from basemap-data-hires.
