TWS "Edit->Global Configuration...->API->Settings" menu. Live Trading ports: 
TWS: 7496; IB Gateway: 4001. Simulated Trading ports for new installations 
of version 954.1 or newer:  TWS: 7497; IB Gateway: 4002
using this code:
from ibapi.client import EClient
from ibapi.wrapper import EWrapper  
class IBapi(EWrapper, EClient):
     def __init__(self):
         EClient.__init__(self, self) 

app = IBapi()
app.connect('127.0.0.1', 4002,123)
app.run()

Make sure you have "Enable ActiveX and Socket EClients" enabled in your settings. If you download and use VNCviewer you should be able to inspect the application and go to settings and see if both "Enable ActiveX and Socket EClients" are enabled.
