It's not required.  It's just something else he offers.

Not for the Outlook binary plugin that you downloaded.  For any other
spambayes app, yes.  Outlook is lucky like that. [1]

http://python.org.

A programming language.

No.

> What order, and exactly what all, is needed?
Just the installer that you downloaded.

Going over the docs is on the to-do list ;)  It's probably additionally
confusing since everything *else* does need you to install Python, and
they were written when there wasn't an Outlook binary.

[1] Well, not because of luck, but because Mark put the effort into
making the installer...
