Generate and manipulate Open XML PowerPoint (.pptx) files

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/scanny/python-pptx.svg?branch=master

python-pptx is a Python library for creating and updating PowerPoint (.pptx) files.

A typical use would be generating a customized PowerPoint presentation from database content, downloadable by clicking a link in a web application. Several developers have used it to automate production of presentation-ready engineering status reports based on information held in their work management system. It could also be used for making bulk updates to a library of presentations or simply to automate the production of a slide or two that would be tedious to get right by hand.

More information is available in the python-pptx documentation.

0.5.1 (2014-09-22)

  • feature #120 - add Shape.rotation

  • Rename Shape.textframe to Shape.text_frame. Shape.textframe property (by that name) is deprecated.

0.5.0 (2014-09-13)

  • Add support for creating and manipulating bar, column, line, and pie charts

  • Major refactoring of XML layer (oxml)

  • Rationalized graphical object shape access Note backward incompatibilities below

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITIES:

A table is no longer treated as a shape. Rather it is a graphical object contained in a GraphicFrame shape, as are Chart and SmartArt objects.

Example:

table = shapes.add_table(...)

# becomes

graphic_frame = shapes.add_table(...)
table = graphic_frame.table

# or

table = shapes.add_table(...).table

As the enclosing shape, the id, name, shape type, position, and size are attributes of the enclosing GraphicFrame object.

The contents of a GraphicFrame shape can be identified using three available properties on a shape: has_table, has_chart, and has_smart_art. The enclosed graphical object is obtained using the properties GraphicFrame.table and GraphicFrame.chart. SmartArt is not yet supported. Accessing one of these properties on a GraphicFrame not containing the corresponding object raises an exception.
