How can I automate the generation of a powerpoint with python

Let's say I have a list of students (names) and their corresponding photos, as well as some grades for the students. How can I insert the student's desired photo as a background picture for some or all of the slides, insert their names on JUST the title slide and insert their grades on select slides?

How should I go about this in python if I want to edit a base template powerpoint for each student with their corresponding information?
