Running Selenium tests with IE using python

The installation page here says to add the selenium server standalone jar to the CLASSPATH. What does the jar do? Do I need it? I ran some selenium code already and it works without it. I just instantiated IE doing

driver = driver.Ie()

I am running webdriver (selenium 2) in Python, trying to test IE9 (and then after test IE8). (I'm not using .NET, just running a .py file) Thanks!

That was the jar you needed to run with "Selenium 1". It is not necessary with Selenium 2 as far as I know. It may be used when doing remote testing (I haven't done that with Selenium 2), but it is definitely not needed for local testing.
