Hello George,

If you mean 'packages' then start reading here :

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports.html


You'll want to look at chapter 4.4 specifically. I prefer ports as you can
customise the creation of the program to include or omit certain
capabilities.

I'm not sure which editor you need but here's a page that lists a few :

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors


As far as I know 'packets' are created using TCP/IP which is very basically
how data is transferred across a computer network.

Regards,

Pete.
