There's not yet an option to change bullet style directly in python-pptx.

However, if you create a slide layout having a numbered bullet placeholder in the 'starting-point/template' deck you start out with, you can use that layout to create the slide you want.

You'll need to understand this bit in the documentation about how python-pptx loads presentations: http://python-pptx.readthedocs.org/en/latest/user/presentations.html

And you'll need to create and use one of your own rather than use the default built-in 'template'.
