Add axis to geographical plot in basemap/pyplot

Question

I've done some plots using pythons basemap. I want to provide some additional information to my plots, by adding the latitude and longitude as axes around my geographical plot. Preferably with tick marks thats pretty accurate. Just as a normal map.

Is this possible?

This is my plotting code:

map = Basemap(
projection="merc",
resolution = 'h', area_thresh = 0.001,
llcrnrlon=bottomlong, llcrnrlat=bottomlat,
urcrnrlon=toplong, urcrnrlat=toplat)
map.drawcoastlines(color='black')
plt.show()

Try map.drawmeridians(meridians, ...) for lines of longitude, and map.drawparallels(circles, ...) for lines of latitude.
