## Convert PPTX to PPTM in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a macro-free PowerPoint presentation (PPTX) and save it as a macro-enabled Open XML presentation (PPTM). PPTM supports VBA projects, but selecting this output format does not add macros to a presentation that has none. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required.

## Convert PPTX to PPTM using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the PPTX file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Pptm`.

### Python code for converting PPTX to PPTM

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