## Convert PPS to OTP in Python

[Aspose.Slides for Python via Java](/slides/python-java/) can convert a PowerPoint Show (`.pps`) file to an OpenDocument Presentation Template (`.otp`) file. This output is useful when the original slide design and layout should serve as the starting point for new OpenDocument presentations.

Open the PPS file with `Presentation` and call `save` with `SaveFormat.Otp`. The API performs the conversion without requiring Microsoft PowerPoint or LibreOffice.

## How to Convert PPS to OTP in Python

Create a `Presentation` from the source PPS file and save it with `SaveFormat.Otp`.

### Python tutorial for converting PPS into OTP

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

## Steps to Convert PPS to OTP in Python

The conversion loads the PowerPoint Show and saves its design and content in the OTP format.

Install [Aspose.Slides for Python via Java](/slides/python-java/).

Configure JPype and make the Aspose.Slides package available to your Python project.

Create a `Presentation` from the source `.pps` file.

Call `save` with `SaveFormat.Otp` and an `.otp` output path.
