pip install pytz --user

i am not sure if the developer forgets to add it to requirements.txt

I just had to put “sudo” in front and then download it and then on the pycharm he told me to update

Reinstall chatterbot and see if you are getting any error. In my case , I was getting below error: Installing collected packages: pyYAML Found existing installation: PyYAML 3.12 ERROR: Cannot uninstall ‘PyYAML’. It is a distutils installed project and thus w e cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall. I searched for all pyYAML files and removed manually. then reinstalled and got below message. Installing collected packages: pyyaml, mathparse, chatterbot Successfully installed chatterbot-1.0.5 mathparse-0.1.2 pyyaml-5.1.2

Now I can successfully import it.

my god~~i am so sorry , i made a stupid mistake, after i download the “ChatterBot-master” from git, i used this folder directly.Instead, i should copy the subfolder"chatterbot" in “ChatterBot-master” .

Can you import any python packages that have been installed? I’m wondering if this isn’t an issue that is specific to ChatterBot.

For example, if you run:

pip install nose --upgrade

and then try to import it:

Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec  6 2015, 01:38:48) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> import nose
