    manipulating PowerPoint with Python?

    Hi. Has anyone ever written scripts to extract data from PowerPoint using
    Python? I know I could dredge through the VB examples in MSDN, and
    translate, but if someone's already done this, I'd be grateful for a few
    examples. (I have slides done in PPT that I want to convert to simple
    HTML --- using "Save as HTML" in PPT creates a lot more goo than I want to
    have to wade through.)

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Couldn't you use "Save as HTML" in PPT and then write a simple parser that
    would remove the goo? I really don't know which is better because I haven't
    seen your ppt generated HTML files, but it's another direction you may want
    to look at.

    BTW, you may want to check out:


    Or find some other parser:


    Hope this helps,
