Do you know how I could connect the included OLED screen from the MotionMote kit to the Raspbery Pi and control it via Python? I'm assuming I would connect it though the GPIO headers but I don't know which ones, and searching the Internet provides nothing.

The OLED has 4 connections: GND, VCC (GND and 3.3V from Pi), and SCL and SDA which can also interface directly to Pi's SCL and SDA since it's all 3.3V. I don't know of a resource as far as software but I believe others have done this so a google search might reveal what you need to get started with python for the OLED.
The OLED is a SSD1306 128x64, so look for a "SSD1306" driver for Python.
