You already can.
See the documentation for the warpimage method at 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/basemap/doc/html/api/basemap_api.html.

Hello Jose-
I searched the Python installation on my computer, but have not been 
able to find the bluemarble image.
I also followed the link that you provided, but didn't find any images 
that cover the entire surface of the Earth.
Python Developers-
I'd really like to have an option in Basemap.bluemarble() to select from 
a set of images, rather than just having a single hardwired image.
