The Python-pptx library is a Python library for creating, updating, and reading Microsoft PowerPoint .pptx files. It allows us to use Python scripts to automate the creation, update and reading of PowerPoint files. It is a very convenient tool for automating PPTX processing.
Installation
pip install python-pptx
