Convert PPSM to PPS in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via Java can load a macro-enabled PowerPoint slide show (.ppsm) and save it as a binary PowerPoint 97-2003 slide show (.pps) without Microsoft PowerPoint. The output remains a slide show file and opens directly in slide show mode in compatible applications.

The conversion changes the Open XML package to the legacy binary format while retaining presentation content such as slides, layouts, themes, and supported multimedia. Load the source file with Presentation, then call save with SaveFormat.Pps.
