Use template PowerPoint files to generate new PowerPoint files bases on dictionary values and magic words

Description

Use PowerPoint templates to generate PowerPoint files on the fly using "magic words". Magic words are specified by using the $ sign symbol. You can specify magic words in PowerPoint templates by wrapping the word like $this$. This tool is simple to run and setup.

How to Install

pip install templatepptx

The data is populated by using a "context" object. A context object is a dictionary which contains the keywords and thier values that are used to populate the powerpoint. Additionally, tables can be populated with an unlmited number of related data by specifying a list of dictionaries in your context. A related table variable is specified in the template by adding the prefix "relationship_" to the front of the key. Please observe the following example of a context object below.

How to Use

To run this tool you will need a template PowerPoint that contains slides that have magic keywords. You will need a context file with the key words and you will need a valid PPTX file path for the output.

import templatepptx

input_pptx = "path//to//input.pptx"
output_pptx = "path//to//output.pptx"
context = {
    "first_name" : "John",
    "last_name" : "Smith",
    "language" : "Python",
    "title" : "PPT Tool",
    "italics" : "italics",
    "feeling" : "happy",
    "relationship_name" : [ # This key contains the list which can contain an unlimited amount of records to populate a table.
    {
        "id" : "1",
        "first_name" : "Duncan",
        "last_name" : "Junior"},
    {
        "id" : "2",
        "first_name" : "Jessica",
        "last_name" : "Jones"}]
    }
