It wraps the XML APIs of PAN-OS firewalls, Panorama (centralized management), WildFire (malware analysis), AutoFocus (threat intelligence), and the licensing service into both Python libraries and standalone command-line tools. The package has no external dependencies, making it lightweight to deploy in automation scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or interactive management workflows.\n\nDevelopers use it to automate firewall configuration, retrieve operational status, submit files for malware analysis, query threat data, and manage licenses\u2014all without building raw HTTP requests or parsing XML by hand. The dual interface (Python API and CLI) means you can integrate it into larger Python applications or call it directly from shell scripts and orchestration platforms.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you manage Palo Alto Networks infrastructure. The package is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, and provides the standard Python interface to a widely-used firewall platform. No known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need to automate PAN-OS, Panorama, WildFire, or AutoFocus operations; skip it if you don't use Palo Alto Networks products."},"id":"pan-python","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pan-python","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pan-python.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pan-python/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pan-python","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Multi-tool set for Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS, Panorama, WildFire and AutoFocus"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":216285,"position":9382,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.26.0"}
