title: How to set a background image in python pptx
body: <p>I am currently working on a project aiming to create a PowerPoint thanks Python pptx. However I am trying to set an image as the background of the slide and I can’t seem to find the solution in the docs of Python pptx. Is it possible to set an image as background if so can someone help me ? If it is not does anyone know another solution using python ?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
  
  <pre><code>import os
  import fnmatch
  from pptx import Presentation
  
  #Create presentation and setting layout as blank (6)
  prs = Presentation()
  blank_slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[6]
  
  #Find number of slides to create
  #First Method = Count number of images in screenshot files (change path depending on the user)
  nbSlide = len(fnmatch.filter(os.listdir("mypath"), '*.jpeg'))
  
  #Loop to create as number of slides as there is report pages
  for i in range(nbSlide):
      slide = prs.slides.add_slide(blank_slide_layout)
      #change background with an image of the slide …
      background=slide.background
  
  #Final step = Creation and saving of pptx
  prs.save('test.pptx')
