https://github.com/emacs-jupyter/jupyter exists. No idea if it’s awesome or terrible.

FWIW, Org Mode is what a native Emacs user might reach for as alternative to Jupyter notebooks: https://michaelneuper.com/posts/replace-jupyter-notebook-wit... That doesn’t imply that you should both try Emacs and replace Jupyter! Just be aware that if either you are using Jupyter for your own reasons or working with like-minded team there is an alternative which may be preferable for your use-case.

Jupyter support in Emacs is pretty bad, tbh. I keep trying every once in a while (as lots of companies prefer notebooks) and it basically never works.

You could probably get it working locally for yourself but in corporate environments it can be annoyingly hard.

org-mode is a better choice, but note that it's not specialised for Python (which is good and bad) so you may need to wire up some stuff (I mostly use R for personal stuff and that works very well).
