>>> package = tracker.package('1Z9999999999999999')
# Identify packages:
>>> package.shipper
'UPS'

>>> print package.url()
http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&InquiryNumber1=1Z9999999999999999

API Configuration

To enable package tracking, get an account for each of the services you wish to use, and then make a file at ~/.config/packagetrack that looks like:

[UPS]
license_number = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
user_id = XXXX
password = XXXX

[FedEx]
key = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
password = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
account_number = #########
meter_number = #########

[USPS]
userid = XXXXXXXXXXXX
password = XXXXXXXXXXXX

For USPS, the optional argument 'server' can be set to 'test' or 'production'.

Status

Currently the UPS and USPS interfaces work... mostly well. I'm sure there are weird edge cases everywhere, there's a lot of documentation to read, not all of it good.

The FedEx interface is a little broken, I'm not sure if it's the python-fedex that isn't fetching the right information from the API, or the API just not returning useful tracking, but right now, you get basically nothing.
