I want to change the look of the default plots in Python, so I created the
file matplotlibrc in the current working directory (Windows 7). The file
gets loaded:

/import matplotlib as mp
print('Config. file loaded from:', mp.matplotlib_fname())/

prints:

/Config. file loaded from:
C:\Users\mato\Documents\Python_Scripts\matplotlibrc/

however, the plot is unaffected.

The simple code:

/import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [1,2,3,4,5]
plt.plot(x)/

with the matplotlibrc file that looks like this:

/lines.linestyle   : --
axes.grid         : True/

yields the plot with the solid line and no grid in the plot. What am I
missing?

Note: 
If I insert 

/plt.rcParams['axes.grid']=True 
plt.rcParams['lines.linestyle']='--' /

in the code, it works as expected
