I'm searching for a program to provide help in finding the proper package.

At the present time, I set PKG_PATH this way:

export PKG_PATH=3Dftp://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/`uname -r|cut=
 -d _ -f 1`/`uname -p`/All

And I can pkg_add but, to find, for instance, what packages are
available for Python...
