Theano: Where to put .theanorc file for Anaconda installation? (Windows)

Question

I recently installed Python 2.7 using Anaconda on my Windows 10 (x64)

I am trying to install Theano, I am however not sure where I should put the '.theanorc' file (for setting Theano parameters). I have verified that theano works (trained small neural network).

I have tried to put it in

C:\Anaconda

(where

python.exe

and

\Lib\os.py

are located), but it doesn't seem like theano registers it.

My

.theanorc

file

[global]

floatX=float32

When I type

>>> import theano; print(theano.config)

I get

...

floatX (('float64', 'float32', 'float16'))

    Doc:  Default floating-point precision for python casts.



Note: float16 support is experimental, use at your own risk.

    Value:  float64

dotfiles are typically stored in the %HOME% directory, which on windows is %USERPROFILE%. This translates to C:\Users\username
