Raspberry Pi and i2c Midas LCD

I needed an i2c-based LCD for a Raspberry Pi project; so I salvage a Midas LCD from an old project. The LCD is not popular with hobbyists because it is not breadboard friendly. I tried in vain to google for Python code for it.
Then I remembered that my colleague, Mr. Wong SS, did some work on Midas LCD two years ago.  He shared with me his codes generously. He was already using Python3 and Quickwire. I am still with Python2.  Quickwire as a company has already folded and no longer available for new projects.  I did a technology in reverse gear: converting Python3 codes to Python2 and Quickwire to smbus.
With Mr.Wong permission, I am sharing the modified code here:
