how to retreive predefined Applications from Panorama using Pan-OS-python

[bleishangthem]

I am getting "None".  Need some help to figure out what is missing here.

pano = Panorama('192.168.1.1', 'user', 'pwd') 

def CheckPaloAddressGroup():

    original= Predefined(pano)

    pano.add(original)

    app_list = original.refreshall_applications()

    print(app_list)

Predefined objects are retrieved from the predefined namespace that is attached to the Panorama and Firewall namespaces.  Also when invoking the refreshall_* methods, they don't return results like object refreshall functions, you have to access the results from the appropriate param on the predefined namespace itself:

from panos.panorama import Panorama

pano = Panorama("192.168.1.1", "admin", "admin")
pano.predefined.refreshall_applications()

print("Applications: {0}".format(
    pano.predefined.application_objects.keys()),
)

print("Application Containers: {0}".format(
    pano.predefined.application_container_objects.keys()),
)
