Running Theano on Python 3.4 is complicated. So far I would recommend that you run Theano in Python 2.7. The libraries written for Theano are Python 2.6+ based. So in order to get Theano running in Python 3.4, you would be needing the 2to3 automated python 2 to 3 code translation tool. I haven't tested Theano using 2to3, so I can't comment on whether it would work or not. But, I am using Python 2.7 and Theano works smoothly. Also, you might want to use AnacondaCE with Python 2.7 installer which pretty much gives you everything you need to start developing.

You would also need to reinstall Theano using

pip install Theano
