Where on Windows 10 is pip.conf or pip.ini located?

Pip version: 9.0.1
Python version: 3.5.2 installed with Chocolatey
Operating System: Windows 10

Description:

What I’ve done: pip list

What has happened:

λ pip list
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.

What went wrong:

Nothing, but deprecation message is annoying and I can’t locate any pip.conf or pip.ini to stop it.

NOTE: Python 3 installed with Chocolatey
