pptx-template

Getting started

The goal of this fork is to provide a PyPI package that you can use in your python project by calling the pptx_template.render.render_pptx function.

Some features provided by the originals projects (https://github.com/skar404/pptx-template and https://github.com/m3dev/pptx-template) may not work properly.

Install

pip3 install pptx_template_simple

In this fork, you can render a template like this:

from pptx_template import render

input_path = 'test/data5/in.pptx'
model = {
    "greeting": "Hello!",
    "client_name": "M. Melpanque"
}
output_path = 'test/data5/out.pptx'
render.render_pptx(input_path, model, output_path)
