Hi,

Apropos my earlier posts about the 1.5" OLED Display, I've been trying to 
track down the documentation for the OLED_Driver Python Module, but so far 
without success.  I know that the device uses that driver because the (rather 
poorly written) example code provided by the manufacturers imports it.  

I went to https://pypi.org/ and entered the search term 'OLED_Driver', but got 
no direct hits.  The nearest that I got to it is the Luma.OLED (https://
pypi.org/project/luma.oled/).  This leads me to the question; when I type 
'sudo pip3 install OLED_Driver', how does PIP find the module requested?  Is 
there a more comprehensive repository of Python Modules somewhere or does 
OLED_Driver somehow get translated to Luma.OLED when the module is fetched?

The reason for this query is that we are trying to find a way to drive more 
than one 1.5" Display from a single Pi.  The display type that we have 
defaults to SPI, which makes it easy (in theory) to address the required 
device, because SPI uses a 'chip select' technique driven from the GPIO pins.  
The trouble is that without documentation I cannot see how to change the 
identity of the GPIO pins to be used to address each device.
