PresentPy

Create slides from Jupyter Notebooks

PresentPy allows you to take your Jupyter Notebooks and turn them into slides (compatible with PowerPoint, Keynote, LibreOffice...) that then can be integrated into your presentation decks.

Installation

I strongly recommend using pipx to install PresentPy:

pipx install presentpy

Otherwise, you can install it using pip or your favorite package manager – the package is called presentpy.

Usage

To turn a notebook into slides, simply run:

Usage: presentpy [OPTIONS] NOTEBOOK

  presentpy: A CLI tool to convert Jupyter Notebooks to ODP presentations.

Options:
  --output PATH  Directory or file path where the output ODP file will be
                 saved. Defaults to the current directory.
  --theme TEXT   Pygments style to be applied to the presentation. Defaults to
                 'default'. See https://pygments.org/docs/styles/ for
                 available styles.

Code configuration

You can configure the code cells to be displayed in the slides by adding a comment on the last line of the cell. The comment should start with #% and then you can add the following options:

• title: The title of the slide
• highlights: A comma separated list of lines to highlight, each highlight could be a number or a range of lines separated by a dash, e.g. 1,3-6,6-7

For example, take the following code:

def compute_hcf(x, y):
    if x > y:
        smaller = y
    else:
        smaller = x
    for i in range(1, smaller+1):
        if((x % i == 0) and (y % i == 0)):
            hcf = i 
    return hcf
#% title="Find the H.C.F of two numbers" highlights=1,2-3,4-5,9

The code above will generate 5 slides showing the same code but highlighting different lines in each slide – see how it looks below:

You can then use these slides in your presentation deck.
