St7789, Python, Legacy OS, can't get it to work?

Sorry for the slow reply - I’ve been on holiday for the last couple of weeks and it’s taking me a moment to catch up!

What is the correct way to install the Python driver
pimoroni/st7789-python: Python library to control an ST7789 240x240 1.3" TFT LCD display.
for this,
1.54" SPI Colour Square LCD (240x240) Breakout
In Bookworm?

I believe the most recent version of the st7789 installer installs into a virtual environment (if you don’t have one, it will set one up for you).

Try
git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/st7789-python
cd st7789-python
./install.sh

You’ll then need to switch to your virtual environment before running the examples with:

source ~/.virtualenvs/pimoroni/bin/activate

Looks like we could indeed do with updating the readme to be a bit more helpful here!
