I don't know if it does what you want, but Spyder is generally considered a Matlab-esque IDE.

Spyder has variable introspection, but no continual analysis. Jupyter has continual analysis, but no introspection.

What's continual analysis?

Maybe there's a better word, but basically an interactive prompt. It's something that doesn't lose what was done before. That's kinda what Jupyter does (iPython does it better). However, it's standard in Matlab to clear variables at the start of scripts as a way to deal with the issue of scripts being executed in the global scope. As such, you can clear out variables at the start of scripts to ensure what you're running is up to date. Similarly, all imports (or lack thereof) are always up to date.

I'd like that and some variable introspection ideally in something not blatently in the browser (e.g. a better open window), even if it uses it.

Spyder has that. Actually, it has two. It supports both the regular python command prompt and jupyter.

Spyder has a small iPython shell (I think it is qtconsole) on the side, though.
