You are right, I had forgotten about that. I think the Client Profile is discontinued starting with .Net 4.5, but given that Python.NET should work with older versions as well, that doesn't really help.
Well, I guess that does mean that wheels would be nice. Either way, the first step will be to create a working setup.py for both windows/linux/mac.

The .NET Client Profile is installed by default, but not the full framework nor the developer tools. In fact, most of the python developers I know do not have the .NET development tools installed. Being forced to install them would be a barrier to entry for them. The users of their apps definitely don't have the compiler installed, nor should they have to.
