Merge PPSM to PPS in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you merge PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Show (PPSM) files by cloning slides from one Presentation into another. After combining the slides with SlideCollection.add_clone, call Presentation.save with SaveFormat.PPS to save the merged slides as a PowerPoint 97–2003 Show (PPS) file. Cloning slides does not merge VBA projects from the source files.
