I am going to have a look on Python, but I am affraid that mastering all the subtleties of a new language could take a lot of time? (a bit lazy too...).

Here is the code generated by chatGPT for the "TWSLib.dll" VERSION. This code is only for getting started.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Load the TWSLib.dll (make sure it's in the same folder as the executable or in the system PATH)
If OpenLibrary(0, "TWSLib.dll")
??? Debug "TWSLib.dll loaded successfully"
???
??? ; Declare the functions from the DLL
??? ; The function signatures are derived from TWSLib documentation and can be different
??? ; Depending on what you're doing, the function names and arguments might change
???
??? ; Connect to TWS
??? Define ConnectToTWS.i
??? ConnectToTWS = CallFunction(0, "Connect", 7496, "127.0.0.1", "clientId") ; The Connect function is for establishing a connection
???
??? If ConnectToTWS = 1 ; Check if connected successfully (depends on how TWSLib.dll works)
??????? Debug "Connected to TWS"
???????
??????? ; Now you can send a request. For example, let's request account data
??????? ; You would need to call the appropriate methods for account data or market data

??????? Define requestAccountData.i

??????? ; but you can poll the data periodically)
