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.
