That's awesome! Thanks mate!

Cool. I hope that all the packagers can learn from your package :)
I'm guessing that the python-libxml2 package was already inside
freebsd so you only had to refer to it, right?

I'm not sure about FreeBSD policy but I would strongly discourage
the inclusion of pyc and pyo files in the package. Please see:

Sorry, I'll have to pass. No freebsd workstations or vm's arround me.

That's an excellent question, I recommend you to read the Unit
testing [0] section of our developers guide. We've been working on
increasing our code coverage; we're still far from what we want... but
we'll get there in the near future.

Hmmm, netcat_installed.py is a payload that will search for a
netcat installed in the remote server that you're trying to break
into. I don't know if this has anything to do with FreeBSD. If you
know about a path that we should add to the payload, please let us
know and we will.

For now, I think that the first step you can take is check the pyc
and pyo files, run nose and see what happens.
Thank you very much for your help; we appreciate it a lot !
