Stop right there before you get all confused.
You flashed the NodeMCU firmware to ESP8266. So you'll be programming in Lua. That's the base line. If you
wanted to program in Python you'd have to load the MicroPython firmware onto ESP8266. But you didn't do that. Side note: you don't need either Lua or Python installed on the system you run ESPlorer on.
For some reason(s) I don't understand, your ESPlorer is emitting (Micro)Python code rather than Lua code when you push those buttons. No wonder the NodeMCU firmeware doesn't understand that and reports errors. ESPlorer shouldn't do that and I've never seen it do that on my systems in the last 20 or so months I've been using it. That's why I suggested you look into the settings to make sure ESPlorer is configured for NodeMCU rather than MicroPython.
The fact that you're able to see the firmware startup message from my cloud build service is a good sign because it means a) that the firmware was successfully flashed and b) that the baud rate settings in ESPlorer are correct.
At this point all I can suggest is that you make yourself familiar enough with ESPlorer to track this down. Have a look at
