Troubleshooting Steps Attempted: I tried upgrading the wheel package using pip install --upgrade wheel.
I attempted to install specific versions of conflicting packages using pip install wheel==0.32.3, pip install preshed==2.0.1, and pip install chatterbot.

Answer 1

The latest version of ChatterBot (1.0.8) currently supports python versions 3.4 - 3.8. You are having this issue because your Python Version is 3.10.0 hence it's not supported by ChatterBot 1.0.8. To fix this, downgrade your python version to any of the supported versions. Visit https://pypi.org/project/ChatterBot/ for more information.

Answer 2

I use Anaconda and Jupyter Notebook. Try to create a new environment in Anaconda Navigator and choose to install Python version 3.7.16.
