To "install" Python.NET all you need to do is copy clr.pyd and
Python.Runtime.dll to your Python (sys.prefix) directory.

Don't know about any binary installers sorry, I've always just downloaded the
source, compiled in VS and copied the files over.


Works fine with PythonXY though as PythonXY doesn't know anything about the
files it can't "uninstall" them (you'd just have to manually delete them) - e.g.
