Slides with PyScript/LTK

This project is a slide player to show slides from a PDF.

See a live example of Chris Laffra's PyData Global slides for the PyScript tutorial on Dec 4, 2024.

Generating the slides from a PDF

On a command line Python runtime do:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python convert_pdf.py

This will do the following:

• Ask for a Google Slides URL.
• Download the PDF version.
• Load the PDF and generate 1 PNG per page.
• Save the PNGs in the slides directory.

Rendering the slides

Open index.html in a browser. This runs a Python UI, written in PyScript LTK, to show the slides and navigate between them.

Navigating slides

• Full Screen mode: f
• Prev slide: j, PageUP, Backspace, ArrowUp, ArrowLeft
• Next slide: k, PageDown, Enter, Space, ArrowDown, ArrowRight
• Goto slide: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
• Goto start: Home
• Goto end: End
