super basic attempt at retrieving account info

This API is a bit more elaborate than I am used to; not sure about all the classes.

Here's my attempt at a super basic retrieval of account information:

from ibapi.wrapper import EWrapper
from ibapi.client import EClient

wrapper = EWrapper()
client = EClient(wrapper)

client.connect('localhost', 7496, 0)
client.serverVersion()
client.reqAccountUpdates(True, 'Z1234567')

And now? .serverVersion() is giving me some output so the connection is working, but the workings of .reqAccountUpdates() are lost on me... Why does it not return anything?
