Its easier then ever to get started with micropython developement on Mac OS X. This howto assumes that the user is starting from zero. Lets get started.
Mac OS X comes with Python 2.7. We will need Python 3 for our developement tools. Viisit python.org and download Python 3.7 64 bit for mac os x.
Once the download is complete open the package to install Python. Follow the instructions in the installer to complete the installation.
OS X doesn’t include a driver for the USB to serial chip used on the NodeMCU board. Click the link below to download the driver.
Next, unzip the download. Open the folder and double click on the “.dmg” file. Run the installer and follow the instructions.

- 7 May 2008 Some of the 'ancient' text-editors such as EMacs or Vi are still alive and have ( Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl) and platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows ). Smultron is a free text editor for Mac OS X Leopard 10 with useful features It can serve as a good Notepad replacement, but.
Python editor for macOS / Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux features such as syntax highlighting, the Python code builder, the Python code assistant, and the Python method list tool. CLion, Netbeans, and Xcode are probably your best bets out of the 11 options considered. 'Great code completion' is the primary reason people pick CLion over the competition.

The first tool we’ll install is a command line tool for programming ESP8266 and ESP32 based boards. You can use this tool to write the micropython firmware to the NodeMCU.
To install esptool you’ll need to open the Terminal.app. Its located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. In terminal type the following:
> pip3 install esptool
Our primary tool for micropython development will be uPyCraft. Click on the link below to down uPyCraft.
Open the zip file and copy uPyCraft to the Applications folder.
Now visit the Micropython website and download the firmware for the ESP8266. The link below will take you to the download page.
Liet’s write the firmware to the ESP8266. We will do this using esptool. Open terminal.app. You will need to switch to the directory where you downloaded the bin file. For me its the Downloads folder. Be sure only one NodeMCU is connected to your Mac. In terminal type the following:
> cd ~/Downloads
> esptool erase_flash
> esptool write_flash esp8266-20191220-v1.12.bin
