def create_presentation():
local_ctx = uno.getComponentContext()
resolver = local_ctx.ServiceManager.createInstanceWithContext(
"com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver", local_ctx
)
ctx = resolver.resolve(
"uno:socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext"
)
smgr = ctx.ServiceManager
doc = smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.presentation.PresentationDocument", ctx)
slides = doc.getDrawPages()
slide = slides.getByIndex(0)
doc.storeToURL("file:///path/to/presentation.odp", ())
doc.close(True)
