I am developing a desktop application that helps users create Powerpoint Presentations. After finishing and saving the .pptx file, is there a way to get it to open in powerpoint so that the user can see the resulting presentation without having to open the file on their own ? (I am using windows)

You can use os.startfile function, which will start a file with its associated application. This will behave like double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer
>>> import os
>>> os.startfile("path_of_your_ppt")

Try this:
os.system('your pptx filename with .pptx extension')
If your windows will know which default app to use for opening PowerPoint files, this will surely work.
