• Platform/operating system (i.e. Raspberry Pi with Raspbian operating system,
  Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Mac OSX 64-bit, etc.):
  Raspbian: Linux ##### 4.9.61-v7+ #1049 SMP Fri Nov 10 15:32:51 GMT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

• List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach code or commands
  to run):

pip install Adafruit-GPIO Adafruit-SSD1306
apt-get install python-pilkit
apt-get install python-imaging

Run the script below and you will get the error message. I replaced the SSD1306.py script with the one from this repo and everything works. It appears the pip repo is out of date from this repo.

128x32 display with hardware I2C:

disp = Adafruit_SSD1306.SSD1306_128_32(rst=RST)

Initialize library.

disp.begin()

Clear display.

disp.clear()
disp.display()

Create blank image for drawing.

width = disp.width
height = disp.height
image = Image.new('1', (width, height))

Get drawing object to draw on image.

draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)

Draw a black filled box to clear the image.

draw.rectangle((0,0,width,height), outline=0, fill=0)

Draw some shapes.

padding = -2
top = padding
bottom = height-padding
x = 0

Load default font.

font = ImageFont.load_default()

    # Draw a black filled box to clear the image.

also hit this issue...
thanks for reporting it or I would still be stuck.
after replacing /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/Adafruit_SSD1306/SSD1306.py with the git version i was up and running.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_SSD1306/master/Adafruit_SSD1306/SSD1306.py > /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/Adafruit_SSD1306/SSD1306.py

Please update your pip package so your users have a clean experience!

hiya, this library is being deprecated - we have a similar library that works with Python3 and modern linux computers. please check out this guide for more info
