Python-pptx: copy slide

Question

How can I copy slide?

I created a template slide and I need to copy it and edit shapes of each copy separately.

Or how I can add my template slide to present

Here is another way to copy each slide onto a single PPTX slide for an entire presentation, and then you can use LibreOffice to convert each individual powerpoint into an image:

def get_slide_count(prs):
""" Get the number of slides in PPTX presentation """
    slidecount = 0
    for slide in prs.slides:
        slidecount += 1
    return slidecount


def delete_slide(prs, slide):
    """ Delete a slide out of a powerpoint presentation"""
    id_dict = { slide.id: [i, slide.rId] for i,slide in enumerate(prs.slides._sldIdLst) }
    slide_id = slide.slide_id
    prs.part.drop_rel(id_dict[slide_id][1])
    del prs.slides._sldIdLst[id_dict[slide_id][0]]


def get_single_slide_pres(prs, slidetokeep):
    for idx, slide in enumerate(prs.slides):
        if idx < slidetokeep:
            delete_slide(prs, slide)
        elif (idx > slidetokeep):
            delete_slide(prs, slide)
    prs.save(str(slidetokeep + 1) + ".pptx")


pptxfilepath = "test.pptx"
prs = Presentation(pptxfilepath)
slidecount = get_slide_count(prs)
for i in range(slidecount):
    prs_backup = Presentation(pptxfilepath)
    get_single_slide_pres(prs_backup, i)
    prs_backup = None
