Error with installing chatterbot on Python

Question

Whenever I try to install ChatterBot using pip install ChatterBot it always gives an error on this part: Collecting spacy<2.2,>=2.1 Using cached spacy-2.1.9.tar.gz (30.7 MB) Installing build dependencies ... error

I have tried reinstalling python multiple times but it doesn't seem to help any. I have also tried to download spacy separately but it would just give the same errors

I am using Windows 10, Python version 3.8.5 with pip version 20.2.4.

Here's the error that I got from my log file:

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me

Answer 1

For ChatterBot 1.5 and up, it seems the requirement is python 3.8 or less.

Answer 2

I only got success by downgrading to chatterbot 1.0.4

1. pip install -U setuptools pip wheel
2. pip install -U chatterbot==1.0.4

I am using Windows 10, python 3.8.7 - 64 bit , pip 21.0.1,

Note: use 64 bit python, spacy will not install/work on 32bit python.
