## Convert POTX to PPTM in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a PowerPoint Open XML template (`POTX`) and save it as an editable, macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation (`PPTM`). The PPTM format can store VBA macros, although converting a macro-free POTX file does not add any macros. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required for the conversion.

## Convert POTX to PPTM using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the POTX file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Pptm`.

### Python code for converting POTX to PPTM

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.potx")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.pptm", SaveFormat.Pptm)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```

## How to convert POTX to PPTM in Python

Follow these steps to convert a POTX file to a macro-enabled PPTM presentation.

Install [**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](https://docs.aspose.com/slides/python-java/installation/).

Configure the package and start the Java Virtual Machine in your application.

Open the source POTX file with `Presentation`.

Call `save` with `SaveFormat.Pptm` to create the PPTM presentation.
