import ntptime crashes ESP8266

[amijalis]

Hello!

On the most recent version of CircuitPython (3.0 beta), the statement import ntptime crashes a freshly-flashed Adafruit ESP8266 feather. A bunch of gibberish gets printed to the REPL and then the device restarts.

On a related note, the V2 ntptime module doesn't work either. ntptime.time() correctly pulls the time from the time server, but ntptime.settime() does not properly set the rtc module, failing at an ImportError (no module named utime in CircuitPython).

Thanks!

With ESP8266 support bring removed in 4.0, is this obsolete?

Yup! We are no longer supporting CircuitPython on the ESP8266 because it lacks native USB.
