i'd like to ask if there is anything in python which helps to see what variables have been defined and their type and their dimension etc;
Bear in mind that Python variables are simply names so they have no type or dimension information. That belongs to the objects to which they refer.
if any of you has ever used Matlab, i mean something really similar to its workspace, where all the user created variables are stored and constantly updated
That having been said most debugger envioronments will show you the current variables in scope and their values. Certainly IDLE, Pythonwin and Eclipse/PyDev can all do that.
