Please see stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask ; also, please edit your question to format it so that it's more readable. However, to answer your question, it seems like you have a null byte (\x0) in the source code you're trying to install. – samu
make sure the python version being used is supported by chatterbot. You can check on pypi – M Z
It worked chatterbox support python 3.6 mine was v3.8 – Sumit

Try installing the previous version of ChatterBot.

pip install chatterbot==1.0.4

This should work, unless there are some other problems. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

There would be another problem if you are using Python 3.8.x . In Python 3.8.x, a few functions of a few modules were removed. You will be able to import ChattberBot , but when you name the bot, there will be an error.

File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\util\compat.py", line 264, in <module>
time_func = time.clock
AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

Copy the location for the file given in the last line, where the error occurs.

C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\util\compat.py

Open file with IDLE or whatever editor you have. Please do Not open the file directly(this will run the file, and you will not be able to see the code) , instead Open with IDLE or Your Text editor Then , go to line 264 in that . It would be written

time_func = time.clock

Instead of this change it to

time_func = time.perf_counter()

I Hope this helped!
