python-pptx¶

Release v0.6.21.2 (Installation)

python-pptx-fix is a Python library for creating and updating PowerPoint (.pptx) files.

This project python-pptx-fix is created to fix bugs and add minor features to the original project by Scanny. Original project is unresponsive at the moment so had to create this project as python-pptx-fix. Feel free to contribute to this project.

A typical use would be generating a customized PowerPoint presentation from database content, downloadable by clicking a link in a web application. Several developers have used it to automate production of presentation-ready engineering status reports based on information held in their work management system. It could also be used for making bulk updates to a library of presentations or simply to automate the production of a slide or two that would be tedious to get right by hand.

More information is available in the python-pptx documentation.

Feature Support¶

python-pptx has the following capabilities, with many more on the roadmap:

Round-trip any Open XML presentation (.pptx file) including all its elements
Add slides
Populate text placeholders, for example to create a bullet slide
Add image to slide at arbitrary position and size
Add textbox to a slide; manipulate text font size and bold
Add table to a slide
Add auto shapes (e.g. polygons, flowchart shapes, etc.) to a slide
Add and manipulate column, bar, line, and pie charts
Access and change core document properties such as title and subject

Additional capabilities are actively being developed and added on a release cadence of roughly once per month. If you find a feature you need that python-pptx doesn’t yet have, reach out via the mailing list or issue tracker and we’ll see if we can jump the queue for you to pop it in there :)
