There is no need to change anything in the module’s code. You can add a vtkMRMLIGTLConnectorNode to the scene, set its type, port, hostname (if client), and call its Start() method:

connectorNode = slicer.mrmlScene.AddNewNodeByClass("vtkMRMLIGTLConnectorNode")
connectorNode.SetTypeClient('localhost', 18944)
connectorNode.Start()
