This library tracks packages.

Note Use at your own risk!

setuptools, suds, pytz, pip, fedex module

For debian or ubuntu, do::

$ apt-get install python-setuptools python-suds python-tz python-pip $ pip install fedex

Simple as:

$ easy_install packagetrack

Or if you prefer, download the source and then:

$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

>>> from packagetrack import Package
>>> package = Package('1Z9999999999999999')
# Identify packages (UPS, FedEx, DHL, CanadaPost, and USPS)
>>> package.carrier
'UPS'
>>> info = package.track()
>>> print info.status
IN TRANSIT TO
>>> print info.delivery_date
2010-06-25 00:00:00
>>> print info.last_update
2010-06-19 00:54:00
# Get tracking URLs
>>> print package.url
http:https://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&InquiryNumber1=1Z9999999999999999

To enable package tracking (not just finding URLs or matching TNs to carriers), you will need to get API credentials for most of the carriers you wish to use. The default configuration method is to read the config values from ~/.packagetrack, which looks like this:

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

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

[USPS]
userid = XXXXXXXXXXXX
password = XXXXXXXXXXXX

[CanadaPost]
username = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
password = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You can specify an alternate location for the config file like so:

>>> from packagetrack.configuration import DotFileConfig
>>> cfg = DotFileConfig('/path/to/file')
>>> packagetrack.auto_register_carriers(cfg)

Alternatively, you can provide a different type of config like the DictConfig or making another type (like one that pulls values from a database).
