## Convert PPSX to FODP in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a PowerPoint Slide Show (`.ppsx`) and export it as a Flat OpenDocument Presentation (FODP). FODP stores the presentation in a single, uncompressed XML document. Microsoft PowerPoint, LibreOffice, and OpenOffice are not required for the conversion.

Create a `Presentation` from the PPSX file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Fodp`.

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.ppsx")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.fodp", SaveFormat.Fodp)

```
