New to Python:Having issues with pandevice

[ansmittal]

Getting below error when connecting to firewall:

>>> import pandevice

>>> fw = Firewall("137.117.105.197", “firewall”, “firewall@123”)

  File "<stdin>", line 1

    fw = Firewall("137.117.105.197", “firewall”, “firewall@123”)

                                              ^

SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

>>> print fw.op("show system info")

  File "<stdin>", line 1

    print fw.op("show system info")

          ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have never used pandevice module. But as an alternative, you get the system info by using either one of the below options.

1. By using PA API, requests module (to make API call) & xml.etree.ElementTree module (to parse the xml output of API call).

or

2. By using netmiko library. It allow to do SSH to multiple networking vendor devices. You can find more info here.

This is a python syntax problem, you just need to fix your imports.  You need to do either this:

import pandevice

fw = pandevice.firewall.Firewall("137.117.105.197", “firewall”, “firewall@123”)

or this (recommended):

from pandevice.firewall import Firewall

fw = Firewall("137.117.105.197", “firewall”, “firewall@123”)

Thanks.I got that figured out.I had another question, I am running below script

import pandevice
from pandevice import base
from pandevice import firewall
from pandevice import panorama
from pandevice import policies
from pandevice import objects
from pandevice import network
from pandevice import device
fw = firewall.Firewall("40.71.172.9", api_username= "Pa-pan", api_password= "firewall@123")
baseAddressA = "10.1.1."

for x in range(10):
AddressA = baseAddressA + str(x)
AddressAName = "AddressA-" + str(x)
fw.add(objects.AddressObject(AddressAName,AddressA)).create()

I am expecting objects between 1-9 to be  created but I only see one object getting created i.e AddressA-9=10.1.1.9
