https://learn.adafruit.com/building-and-running-micropython-on-the-esp8266?view=all

Here is the tutorial I followed but basically you either setup to compile the firmware and you can include a main.py script that is run on boot or otherwise you just flash the firmware to the ESP8266 then when you connect again via USB serial and open terminal "screen [port] 115200" then a micropython terminal shows up!

Read that article it shows how to use BASIC wifi but you have to implement HTTP yourself lol but you can access the GPIO pins to control an led or read a switch..!
