SlideMaker

slidemaker is a Python library for generating slide decks from PowerPoint templates. Built on python-pptx, it exposes one high-level class (SlideBuilder) that handles template loading, slide cloning, placeholder replacement, content layout, style resolution, and final deck assembly.

Architecture

• src/slidemaker/core.py: low-level text, shape, layout, and slide utilities.
• src/slidemaker/cli.py: SlideBuilder high-level API.
• src/slidemaker/media.py: image URL resolution, caching, and prompt-based generation helpers.

Quick Start

from slidemaker import SlideBuilder

sb = SlideBuilder("my_template.pptx")

# Replace {{title}} placeholder in template slide 1
sb.add_slide(
    template_page=1,
    content={"title": "Introduction", "subtitle": "Getting Started"},
)

# Create new shapes on default template page
sb.add_slide(
    content={"title": "Key Points"},
    items=["Point A", "Point B"],
)

sb.save("output.pptx")
