The praw.ini file shouldn't be moved. If you want the bot account details to be added in your current directory, you can modify the line:
r = praw.Reddit('bot1')
to:
r = praw.Reddit(client_id='' , client_secret='' , password='' , username='' , user_agent='')
The reason most people don't do this is so that you can share your code with others, or keep it on a public GitHub repo without exposing sensitive details.
