There is not an *exact* clone of imagesc, but you can certainly get the same effect. Note that imshow has an origin kwarg that lets you specify the vertical orientation, and an extent kwarg that controls the mapping between pixels and your X and Y scales. If you want direct indexing into a colormap you can get it with the kwarg norm=mpl.colors.NoNorm(), provided your Z array has an integer dtype and includes values within the range of the colormap; the default colormaps all have 256 colors. An alternative, if you want to specify the boundaries of the pixels rather than their centers (or if you have unevenly-spaced boundaries), is pcolor, or pcolormesh. If you have a recent version of mpl you can use the Axes method pcolorfast. Offhand, though, it sounds like imshow() with suitable kwargs will do exactly what you want. See image_demo2.py in the mpl examples directory.
