No module named basemap

Following the instructions in this page,I downloaded the basemap and its dependencies. When I run

sudo apt-get install python-mpltoolkits.basemap

It gives me the following output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
python-mpltoolkits.basemap is already the newest version (1.0.7+dfsg-3build2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

the same thing for

sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib

But running the simpletest.py in the examples folder, gives me the following error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "simpletest.py", line 1, in <module>
    from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
ImportError: No module named basemap

I also tried the other method described the same page for installing from the source but the output is the same.I am running on ubuntu16.04 LTS. Any idea!

if you're using Anaconda, it has a package for basemap: conda install basemap
