RL with Energyplus is a nice topic and many are working on it, as with all nice topics :), and me included accordingly.
In my case i'm doing a PhD where i built a framework for doing exactly that on multiple buildings, you can contact me if you need further information (is not yet disclosed for public).
And then apply RL, and so to answer your question of linking E+ with Python:

• do your own code to interact with model classes
• use Eppy python library or use other libraries you find out there or go to first item and do one yourself

According to my experience it really Eppy was not able to automate very well and the library itself is not fully developed and it not supports very well conda environments, so have done it with own scripts.
You can give a try for any of these and check how it works for you.
So Cheers.

Having known this is also important notice that it helped some users who like you wanted to interact with code.
