Python is already prepackaged in Kali, try to type python in the command line.

Since it is a linux distro based on debian, usually you would install packages by typin:

"sudo apt-get install <package name>"

To search some package you can use this:

apt-cache search <package>

so if you find the pack you can use the command of @bkth to install. For another packs that not in list I suggest you find how to install for each extension, like .tar .tar.gz .rpm… Some packs are a litlle hard to install and you will must read the read me file to understand, but in google you will find help in this specific cases.

Another hint, if you want update use this:

apt-get update apt-get upgrade

?

I suggest you to spend some time learning linux basics before attempting anything else in a linux environment.
