pan-os-python
The PAN-OS SDK for Python is a package to help interact with Palo Alto Networks devices (including physical and virtualized Next-generation Firewalls and Panorama). The pan-os-python SDK is object oriented and mimics the traditional interaction with the device via the GUI or CLI/API. (by PaloAltoNetworks)

What's your favorite/most useful feature of the Firewall/Panorama?
Lately? Pan-OS Python by a mile. Makes it so easy to create custom integrations and you can pretty much touch every useful configuration on the firewall.
- Automatically assign and/or quick method to multiple ( 500+ ) security policies the log forwarding profile.
- PAN-OS CLI "set commands" do not accept "double whitespaces" in object/rule name

Palo Alto supplies the python module for it. I have a script for automating VPNs where I create a static route as part of the process.

Fortinet versus Palo Alto - main differences
PANOS provides a full featured API on every device that's both powerful and simple to use. They also publish a number of SDKs on Github - i.e. https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/pan-os-python - that leverage the API.
