you are The HERO! Thank you very much for your write-up! I think it should be on the title page... somewhere. It would be absolutely invaluable for the noobs, such myself.
Also, thanks for the Russian software - it is extremely handy. I was using the serial monitor by ElectroDragon before and could not get any response from the module. It turned out that I was not using the "end of the line" character. The monitor you recommend has it as default and I am communicating to ESP! Moreover, it connected to my router.
Arduino is next.

Hey Mike,

Python files [...] require you to use the command line interpreter or a DOS window. This is really ‘stone age’

Then why don't you use nodemcu-flasher?
https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher

Downloaded / installed this. Doesn't work !!! Says

AP MAC Waiting MAC
STA MAC Waiting MAC

Flashes up 'require ("wifi")' and 'connectworld()'

As the PC I use for ESP development is not connected to the outside world, I get no further. Does it mean the ESP needs to be connected to 'wifi' or the PC connected to wifi? Anyway, it seems this is not a 'standalone' application. Why not?

Also how do I know what to set the default 'Flash Speed' to?

Is there more information on this software?

That's what I get when I forget to restart the esp in firmware update mode. Make sure you start the module in that mode before you open the flashing tool. And make sure you point to a valid firmware file, and the box on the left of it is checked.

That's what it does when flashing too.

No, I can flash with no network access.

Anyway, it seems this is not a 'standalone' application. Why not?

Because it needs a .bin file to flash into your esp?

Also how do I know what to set the default 'Flash Speed' to?

I've always used 40MHz, 9600, and 512kB.

Is there more information on this software?

Well, I didn't need much more, but the developer's written in the About tab:
