[JohnCrubaugh]

# This defines how we will connect to panorama

mypanorama = panorama.Panorama(device, api_key=auth_key)

# This defines the device group we will be connecting to

palo_device_group = panorama.DeviceGroup(devicegroup)

mypanorama.add(palo_device_group)

rulebase = PreRulebase

palo_device_group.add(rulebase)

existing_policies = SecurityRule.refreshall(palo_device_group)

here is the code i got working

# This defines how we will connect to panorama

mypanorama = panorama.Panorama(device, api_key=auth_key)

# This defines the device group we will be connecting to

palo_device_group = panorama.DeviceGroup(devicegroup)

mypanorama.add(palo_device_group)

rulebase = PreRulebase()

palo_device_group.add(rulebase)

existing_policies = SecurityRule.refreshall(rulebase)

pano = Panorama(panorma_url,api_key=panorma_api_key)
dg = DeviceGroup("Shared")
pano.add(dg)
rulebase = PostRulebase()
dg.add(rulebase)

error is:
