CircuitPython `displayio` driver for IL91874-based ePaper displays

Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython `_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle `_.

Installing from PyPI
=====================

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI `_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-il91874

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-il91874

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-il91874

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

"""Simple test script for 2.7" 264x176 Tri-Color display shield

Supported products:
* Adafruit 2.7" Tri-Color ePaper Display Shield
* https://www.adafruit.com/product/4229

# Do Not refresh the screen more often than every 180 seconds
# for eInk displays! Rapid refreshes will damage the panel.
