To get this screen working on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W without having to use a CircuitPython image, I needed the following Python dependencies:

adafruit-blinka-displayio
adafruit-circuitpython-display-text
adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1327
RPi.GPIO

I've opened this issue for others that may be struggling to do the same thing because I couldn't find instructions anywhere.

The guide for using blinka displayio is here: https://learn.adafruit.com/running-pyportal-code-on-blinka-with-displayio. I could add some tags to make it easier to find. What kinds of keywords were you searching for?

What I needed was to quickly use this display in Python and have it be deployed onto a Raspberry Pi. I did this very quickly and easily with the SSD1306 because the guide states all of the requirements clearly. However, I had to do a lot of digging to eventually find the requirements I have listed above.
