Text wrap with box in Basemap

I'd like to write some text on a world map pointing to several locations. The text to be written for each location is short, a few lines, with one or two words/numbers (i.e earthquake magnitude, location, date). Is there a pythonic way to perform this?

Since matplotlib-basemap is based on matplotlib, you can simply use 

plt.text(x,y,'yourtext')

to write text onto your map. If you want to have it boxed, add something like:

plt.text(x,y,'yourtext',bbox={'pad':10})
