Affordable WIFI for Pyboard

I see there is the shield above (and upy code), but has anyone successfully implemented wifi on the pyboard at a reasonable cost ?

The CC3000 option pretty much doubles the cost of the pyboard by adding wifi

This shield is just an ESP8266 connected to an UART. You can do the same with any ESP01- module. Both @pythoncode and me (and maybe others) had the idea of using that as WiFi interface. But at least for me the task seems to laborious. Maybe the bew MACRAW interface makes it a little bit easier to handle the data transfer. But still the administration part of the interface has to be done.

I implemented a means of using an ESP8266 to bring MQTT to a Pyboard here but I don't think anyone has developed a general solution.
