## Convert FODP to PPS in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load an FODP presentation and save it as a PowerPoint 97–2003 PPS slide show. The PPS format is intended to open directly in slide show mode in compatible applications. The conversion does not require Microsoft PowerPoint, LibreOffice, or OpenOffice.

Create a `Presentation` from the FODP file and call `save` with `SaveFormat.Pps` to create the PPS slide show.

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.fodp")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.pps", SaveFormat.Pps)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
