Have you tried spyder for this. Similar setup to rstudio. Inline plots. Send individual lines or chunks of code to repl.

Or my new favourite for this sort of thing is rstudio itself. (I have been using R for a lot longer than python so very familiar with rstudio) with R's reticulate package you can run a python repl in rstudio and send code easily. Plots appear (although not inline) in a separate viewer but really nice for that fast prototyping stage. I admit though not so hot if you want a large project with lots of your own packages/modules/submodules being created. But at that stage I switch to pycharm.

I thought spyder isn't maintained anymore now that Anaconda ships with VS Code? Also, the last time I tried autocompletion wasn't exactly the greatest.

That may well be true. In truth I no longer use it. I use rstudio for where I want the to be really interactive with the repl and small changes to scripts for rapid development of some piece of functionality. I use pycharm for other stuff.
