Hello, can you add code from following function, because without it can't copy slides charts
from .charts import clone_chart

Probably, i got that the function is below. But there is an another problem in copy chart
ValueError: .target_part property on _Relationship is undefined when target-mode is external

This error probably appears because of ` BytesIO(graphical_frame.chart.part.chart_workbook.xlsx_part.blob),`

Hi @SyperOlao, thanks for reporting the issue!
Do you know if the Excel worksheet related to the chart is actually external to the PPT? My experience for now was only on internal Excel worksheets, as these are supported by the python-pptx library.
Reference: https://github.com/scanny/python-pptx/blob/d043334b984736a7a2ade3fb6f9adcdd97b3e8f5/pptx/opc/package.py#L690

Thanks for replying 😊!
Hm, as for me it's strange situation that charts in pptx are not the same as in Excel. Maybe, the way is low-level copying charts, but actually I don’t know how to solve it.
Now one of solutions of full copy pptx slide is that you can use pywin32 lib. However , I want to upload my presentation generator into the ubuntu server, and this library works only in windows and needs powerpoint to be installed, so it doesn't suit me

Whenever you create a new chart from PowerPoint, an Excel worksheet is created and added internally to the PowerPoint file representing the data of the chart. Cloning a chart using such format works using the utilities shared.
In some cases, it is possible to link a chart to an external Excel file - this is the use case that is not supported as of now.

I believe you could move all charts to use only internal Excel worksheets if the objective is programmatic management of PowerPoint files.

Hello I've tested your code, using 0.6.21, using PPT 2019, on linux env, but exception:
dest = _exp_add_slide(ppt, source.slide_layout)
return add_slide_ppt( ppt.slides, slide_layout)
rId, slide = add_slide_part(self, slide_layout)
slide_part = SlidePart.new(partname, self.package, slide_layout_part)
AttributeError: 'Slides' object has no attribute 'package'

self type is <class 'pptx.slide.Slides'>

Any thoughts ? Thanks

Ok, I found, since I was testing the code inside an existing class, then there was an issue with self ;)
