How to specify a windows directory that has spaces in it in .theanorc

Question

I need to use the --compiler-bindir flag to specify directory that contains cl.exe to nvcc. If I specify it like this:

[nvcc]
flags = --compiler-bindir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin

I get error while importing theano in python that complains about spaces. What is the proper way to specify this directory in .theanorc? Note that I do not want to edit my nvcc.profile.

Try the following, if you haven't yet, it seems to work for other people:

[nvcc]
compiler_bindir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin

See also this long Stackoverflow guide about installing Theano on Windows.
