Is anyone using the API with Python for script development? I wanted to make sure that I can do that using Python.

I've seen the awesome library Alexy made that is available here: https://github.com/th3sys/transfixed . But I'm not sure if it's still usable since the last update there is 3 years ago, and not sure if it supports the newer version(s) of the API.

I'm also guessing if I can use Python, I'll still need the .NET framework as it's an API requirement?

According to Github page, it uses our FIX connection, not .NET API.
This product includes software developed by quickfixengine.org (http://www.quickfixengine.org/).

Yeah. What I meant was that if I used the API without the library provided by Alexy, will I be able to develop on a LInux platform?

Per http://gainfutures.com/GFAPI/?topic=html/7e7bc85a-5565-457e-817d-897ce7d7b818.htm Non-windows users can use our FIX solution.
