I was able to get it to work by adding - 'import collections.abc' in init.py file.

• Thank you. Same error message for your comment gave me enough information to make it work. I edited at this location: [File "...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\pptx\compat__init__.py"] I added: import collections.abc immediately below import collections. Particulars: Novice in Visual Studio Code in Windows 11, Python 3.10.

I struggled for about an hour - reading through the error messages and walking back module references. Glad it worked for you. That's about all the help I'll be able to offer!
