I managed to install the micropython-ssd1327-1.0.0 library,according to this:
File "build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/ssd1327.py", line 5, in ImportError: No module named micropython
Have I missed something.
Oops, a bit vague above. I am trying to install the ssd1327 driver for a oled display. Adafruit's library file won't install because
This library is not available on PyPI yet. Install documentation is included as a standard element. Stay tuned for PyPI availability!
So then I found the same driver file for micropython, but I get the above error when I import the said ssd1327 in a python script.

But did you also install /micropython/ itself?
... and if you did, are you invoking it? Micropython is not a module for regular Python, it is a separate limited language interpreter optimized for use on microcontrollers.
A search for "ssd1327 raspberry pi" leads to
FYI: from what I can tell, if the Adafruit library
As for the lack of PyPi availability...

Unfortunately, that relies upon /displayio/, which itself does not seem be available for Linux systems. It is part of pi@rpi3bplus-1:~/scratch$ git clone

Ok, my apologies, as I could NOT install the micropython-ssd1327-1.0.0 library because after I DID install micropython from here:
I received the said error about no module called micropython
No I did not invoke as I didn't know that it had to be
It looks like the Adafruit_CircuitPython_SS1327 library can't be installed then, and the micropython-ssd1327-1.0.0 library can't be used due to micropython not being invoked???
It now seems that the said oled display can't be used with a raspberry pi, as it needs the ssd1327 library.
Thanks

Okay, if you built micropython, and the test (section 4) runs, I'd think the next move would be to follow step 5 to install the micropython package.
The Adafruit library requires /displayio/ but on Linux the adafruit_blinka interface library only provides
""" This repository contains a selection of packages mirroring the CircuitPython API on hosts running micropython. Working code exists to emulate the CircuitPython packages;
board - breakout-specific pin identities microcontroller - chip-specific pin identities digitalio - digital input/output pins, using pin identities from board+microcontroller packages bitbangio - software-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI busio - hardware-driven interfaces for I2C, SPI, UART time * - substitute functions monkey-patched to time module """ ... No displayio (nor many of the libraries shown
Micropython requires you to invoke it explicitly:
/micropython
I don't have the display to fully illustrate, but...

Looks to me like the display is feasible (the usage page didn't list the 1327, but imported 1306, 1309, 1325, 13331, and sh1106 -- I took a chance specifying 1327, and it took without error) {I've now uninstalled since, as stated, I don't have the display, so why clutter SD card}
Obviously, you'll need to follow the luma.oled API to use the display.

Thanks for that. I already had some of the files installed from a previous attempt. In the luma.examples/examples folder, I edited the clock.py script to include:
from luma.core.interface.serial import i2c, spi from luma.core.render import canvas from luma.oled.device import ssd1306, ssd1309, ssd1325, ssd1331, sh1106
but edited the last line to just from luma.oled.device import ssd1327.
When I ran the script : pi@raspberrypi:~/luma.examples/examples $ python clock.py Version: luma.oled 3.3.0 (luma.core 1.12.0) Display: ssd1306 Interface: i2c Dimensions: 128 x 64
and there was no errors and nothing on the display.

Sorry -- we are now beyond what I can investigate (no display here with which to test).
