Creating a PPTX template using python

I have a requirement involving making a large pptx file with loads of charts, images and tables dynamic. This pptx has default styles. Is there any library or method to make a template so that I can insert the dynamic parts. Like docxtpl library allows us to input a dict and generate a docx file.

Thanks.

You can try the following python modules:

  1. https://pypi.org/project/template-pptx-jinja/
  2. https://pypi.org/project/pptx-template-simple/
  3. https://pypi.org/project/python-pptx-templater/

With the first one, the example they show, it works fine, but im having trouble applying it in another custom ppt.. keep getting "Unepexpected end of template".

The third one didint work for me though, maybe you have more luck.. and now i will try the second one.

I'm not sure I understand your problem...

python-pptx (a tag you've used) is the fundamental programmable way to build a presentation - whether from a "template presentation or not.)

I hope nobody will mind me advertising my md2pptx open source project for taking Markdown and images and making a presentation.

However, I think md2pptx doesn't help you unless you have a way of turning graphs into eg PNG files - and I suspect that's not what you want.
