Hello Theano

Theano in win 10 with minimal effort.

I decided to experiment a little with neural networks and didn’t want to bother installing Linux to do so.

The official Theano instructions for windows installation however seem a bit overwhelming and slightly tedious.

Here’s what worked for me instead (keep in mind I already had numpy, Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 and Visual Studio installed):

1. Install mingw (I used the 32 bit installer) and put the bin directory on the system path
2. Install CUDA toolkit
3. Use a pre-built scipy installer
4. pip install theano

I tested the install with the test gpu script from the official documentation which worked (it used the GPU).
