Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
dREPL: An attempt, rather experimental at this point, to improve deficiencies of the Python shell such as limited completion and lack of multi-line input editing. It's actually a REPL protocol geared towards dumb terminals (which is what Emacs looks like from the perspective of its subprocesses), so it's actually not limited to Python and can be used to create other fully-featured shells.

comint-mime: Adds graphical capabilities to the Python shell (matplotlib, etc.). It's extensible and can be made to work with other Comint modes.

Tips and best practices for REPL-oriented python development?
I've never used elpy, so I can't compare for you, but I feel like it is pretty easy to get a comfortable environment with python-mode. Install a python language server and use eglot or lsp-mode. I believe that python-mode is one of the modes that will be getting tree sitter support in emacs 29, which should add some additional enhancements. The only additional python specific package that I use is comint-mime, since I mostly do data/visualization work.

R and Python Polymode Data Science
https://github.com/astoff/comint-mime, python mode, and ipython work well for me. Some combination of markdown mode, polymode, quarto, and jupytext can probably get you pretty far with a literate programming style. There’s also the https://github.com/nnicandro/emacs-jupyter package that might be worth checking out.

A mouse-driven Emacs?
Finally, as a slight tangent, the comint-mime package will definitely improve the M-x shell experience: https://github.com/astoff/comint-mime.

Suggestions on remote work with LSP? How do you do it?
Yes, it will soon, namely as of Emacs 28: https://github.com/astoff/comint-mime

Is it possible to speed up the latex fragments generation in org files?
It would be cool to think a bit about what other uses these fancy Org rendering utilities can have, such as this. The async stuff would probably get in the way if you want to get a propertized/overlayed buffer out of a string. But usually there are several things about the Org API that are inconvenient as a library (such as not autoloading the externally useful functions).

Very ameteurish Python coder, I need several features but don't need a full-fledged IDE. Can I find these as packages elsewhere?
Inline images: interestingly, I was just working on this. It needs Emacs 28, but you can take a look here: https://github.com/astoff/comint-mime
