How to run a Python script on a SharePoint list in order to generate a PowerPoint file?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 14
Hi everyone,
 
I currently have a local Python script that takes a CSV file (downloaded manually from SharePoint using the "Export as CSV" button) as input, processes the data, and generates a custom PowerPoint file using on a predefined template stored in the script's folder.
 
The process works fine locally, but I want to streamline it so users don't have to download the CSV file and script locally and manually. Instead, I'd like to:
  • Run the Python script directly on SharePoint.
  • Provide a simple button in SharePoint that users can click to trigger the script.
  • Have the script fetch the exported CSV file directly from SharePoint, process it, and then download the generated PowerPoint file
 
Any advice, best practices, or examples would be greatly appreciated, thanks
