I'm trying to use the reqPositions() method but it doesn't have an event handler associated with it that it references in the API.

You don't need to call reqPositions() in IBridgePy. The positions are saved at context.portofolio.positions in pandas dataFrame. It is pretty easy to use them in other parts of the code.
