Installing

|pp| is hosted on PyPI, so installing with pip is simple:

pip install python-pptx

|pp| depends on the lxml package and Pillow, the modern version of the Python Imaging Library (PIL). The charting features depend on XlsxWriter. Both pip and easy_install will take care of satisfying these dependencies for you, but if you use the setup.py installation method you will need to install the dependencies yourself.

Currently |pp| requires Python 2.7 or 3.3 or later. The tests are run against 2.7 and 3.8 on Travis CI.

Dependencies

  • Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 or later
  • lxml
  • Pillow
  • XlsxWriter (to use charting features)

Note: font availability on Linux

On most Linux distros, default PowerPoint fonts are typically unavailable. Thus, you should install them manually by either:

  • Installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer package (on Ubuntu).
  • Copying font files from the C:\Windows\Fonts folder of an existing Windows machine.
  • Manually installing the fonts following this guide.
