Answer 1

did you tried upgragding your setuptool?

pip install --upgrade setuptools

On my system with the latest chatterbot only worked with Python 3.7.9 x64. I'm using VENV to switch between Python versions

Answer 2

chatterbot requires spacy 2.1.9 which requires blis<0.3.0,>=0.2.1. Checking on pypi, only 0.2.4 seems to match these requirements. For this version, only the source package is available when using python 3.8. The whl files only go up to 3.7, which already creates a first option for you: installing python 3.7 instead

If you want to use python 3.8 and use chatterbot, you will need to compile blis from source. Looking at your error, it is trying to run clang. The project description on pypi state that:

If you want to install from source and you’re on Windows, you’ll need to install LLVM

So you will need to install the LLVM compilersuite to get the source installation running.
