## Convert PPTM to PPSM in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a macro-enabled PPTM presentation and save it as a PPSM slide show. PPSM is the Open XML macro-enabled PowerPoint Show format, so the output can retain supported VBA macros and normally opens directly in Slide Show view. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required.

## Convert PPTM to PPSM using Python

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

### Python code for converting PPTM to PPSM

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