## Convert PPTM to OTP in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation (`.pptm`) and save it as an OpenDocument Presentation Template (`.otp`) without Microsoft PowerPoint. The resulting file can be used in applications that support the OpenDocument template format. The OTP output does not retain the PPTM file's VBA project.

Load the source file with `Presentation`, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Otp`.

## Convert PPTM to OTP using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the source PPTM file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Otp`.

### Python code for converting PPTM to OTP

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