Installing

python-pptx is hosted on PyPI, so installing with pip is simple:

pip install python-pptx

python-pptx depends on the lxml package and Pillow, the modern version of the Python Imaging Library (PIL). The charting features depend on XlsxWriter. Both pip and easy_install will take care of satisfying these dependencies for you, but if you use the setup.py installation method you will need to install the dependencies yourself.

Currently python-pptx requires Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, or 3.6. The tests are run against 2.7 and 3.6 on Travis CI.

Dependencies

• Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, or 3.6
• lxml
• Pillow
• XlsxWriter (to use charting features)
