Order execution and stop loss implementation using Python

I am thinking about trading futures and using Interactive Brokers TWS as my platform for order and stop loss execution.

I will code in Python and this will be my first algorithmic trading experience on retail side.

I plan to start trading using very small amount of dollar of order 10-20 grand initially. I plan to trade up to 10 future contracts (5 in and 5 out per day) and don’t want to pay too much in commission either.

Is IB TWS good for my purpose or should I consider something else?
