Make a PowerPoint presentation using Python?

So I have a collection of close to 90 photographs along with a caption and the date stored in a text file. The images are of variable sizes and I would like to automate the procedure of converting this data into a PowerPoint presentation, with one picture on one slide along with its date and caption as the Title. Any reliable methods present?

Office documents are xml-based files now-a-days. This means theoretically you just need to write out the XML. With this information, you can either try to learn the API for it and create your own XML, or search pypi for a library that already handles this. Take a look at this package for example: https://python-pptx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
