To enable package tracking, get an account for each of the services you wish to use, and then make a file at ~/.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'.
