Vfr Sectional Aeronautical Charts With Matplotlib (python)

I'm looking for a means to add VFR Sectional Aeronautical Charts (a.k.a. sectionals) to preexisting matplotlib code I have. In short, can there be a quick and easy means to realize

Solution 1:

I actually figured it out...

map = Basemap(...)
map.arcgisimage(server='http://maps7.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS', xpixels=1500,  service='FAA_Sectional_Charts', layer=0)
