Display RPi IP address on Adafruit's i2c Pi OLED (128x32) screen via python 3 subprocess (hostname -I). If MAC address is present in hostname output (no idea why this happens BTW) split by space and only pass IP to screen. Note: this file is written by Adafruit unless denoted otherwise.

"""
This demo will fill the screen with white, draw a black box on top
and then print Hello World! in the center of the display
This example is for use on (Linux) computers that are using CPython with
Adafruit Blinka to support CircuitPython libraries. CircuitPython does
not support PIL/pillow (python imaging library)!
