You might want to look at basemap for matplotlib.

Disclaimer: I haven't used this, (though I might start), but skimming over the synopses it looks like it will do what you want it to.

Thanks for the reply. Basemap looks like what I want but it is not. It is surprisingly easy to plot arbitrary data on a world map but I didn't manage to e.g. colour the countries of the world by some metric. If you look into basemap, please keep me posted.

P.S.: There is some tutorial that shows how to colour Italy's regions seperately but I did not manage to colour in the whole world.
