I have been trying to do something along those lines in my ib_tools.? It was a place for me to collect functions as I got them working.? I haven't used async much but I just posted an example there from the old forum that shows setting up a callback.
I don't use jupyter so the notebooks were a pain when I first started.? So my ib_tools runs just under python.
If there is a specific part you are having trouble with give us an example and some code that isn't working and I'm sure one of us can help.
Welcome,
Mel

Subject: Re: [ib-async] Forum planning #forum_planning
Hi there and many thanks that some people continue the work of erdewit. According suggestion what's interesting for the 'new' forum, I will give my 5 cent.
To my person: I'm new to trading and also ib_async, have medium level of python and pyqt. I tried before with tws-api, but got more troubles than expected. Now I came to similar situations with ib_async.
Unfortunally there are not that large number of examples and receips which could help me. If I'm able to write clean code, of course I will support here as well.
Actually I have some troubles with async routines and callback. I'm sure all the mentioned functions in the doc have similar structures to call and receive. So, it would be helpfull (not just for me) to have a general instruction for each categorie and how to read the doc and set it up as a function. Further it would be great to have a small full functional code which shows how to init IB correctly and how to setup async processes, awaits and callbacks. There were some snippets in the old forum, but I havn't taken any...
One further idea is to sort functions and to create a toolbox from the receips.
Thanks for your attention
Hans
