## Convert POT to PPSM in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a binary PowerPoint 97–2003 template (POT) and save it as a macro-enabled PowerPoint slide show (PPSM). PPSM is an Open XML format that can store VBA macros and is intended to open directly in slide show mode in compatible applications. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required.

## Convert POT to PPSM using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the POT file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Ppsm`.

### Python code for converting POT to PPSM

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.pot")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.ppsm", SaveFormat.Ppsm)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```
