I'm using this code to extract the text from a slide show using pptx, how do I generate an xml or json file containing the text for each slide?

local_pptxFileList = ["/content/drive/MyDrive/Slides/Backlog Management.pptx"]

for i in local_pptxFileList:
            ppt = Presentation(i)
            for slide in ppt.slides:
                for shape in slide.shapes:
                    if shape.has_text_frame:
                      print(shape.text)

Store the extracted texts into a data structure such as a list (or list of lists, with one list for each presentation's texts).

Use json module to create a json from your data structure, and save to a file. I haven't dealt with encoding (e.g. as utf-8) to ensure that texts are correctly stored, but there's plenty of info about that you can find easily.

import json 

local_pptxFileList = ["/content/drive/MyDrive/Slides/Backlog Management.pptx"]

all_texts = [] 
for i in local_pptxFileList:
    ppt = Presentation(i)
    this_pres_texts = [] 
    for slide in ppt.slides:
        for shape in slide.shapes:
            if shape.has_text_frame:
                this_pres_texts.append(shape.text)
    all_texts.append(this_pres_texts)

with open('data.txt', 'w') as outfile:
    json.dump(all_texts, outfile)
