Build a trading algorithm in Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation

I would like to test out a trading strategy in a paper trading account in Interactive Broker's Trader Workstation. It would involve trading options and the underlying stock. I don't believe it is that complex of a strategy, but I am struggling to properly connect to IBKR, let alone build the algorithm. I would like the code done in Python and in a Jupyter Notebook, but if that is not the most efficient I am open to hearing other methods.
