this is how i'm doing it. i'm working on a Python script that takes plain text with minimal markup that then uses COM to execute within PowerPoint to build the presentation. at the end of the run, users can then save the PPT or start the slideshow. fwiw, it's still in dev now, but i plan on releasing it to the world in the next edition of Core Python Programming in the next couple of years. for those who have already seen me give talks, i sometimes use this in a live setting now, including tonite. if any of you are in the silicon valley area and are interested in hearing me talk about Python 2 vs. 3 swing by for the talk and my interesting use of PowerPoint and Python. :-) more info at http://accu.org/index.php/accu_branches/accu_usa/next cheers, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
