Python
This is required only for the Workers running the Jobtypes jobtypes that are Python-controlled. If there are none that are used, then this is an optional install, but more and more of the Qube jobtypes are being written in Python.
Typically, Linux and Mac OS X come with Python already installed. If not, RPMs should be available on the distribution CD or by download from the Internet. For Windows, free Python distributions can be downloaded from ActiveState at www.activestate.com.
On Windows, Qube! is compatible with Python versions 2.3 through 2.7.
