It doesn't seem to be a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.

and here is the code if you want it

from chatterbot import ChatBot from chatterbot.trainers import ChatterBotCorpusTrainer

bot = ChatBot('iris')

trainer = ChatterBotCorpusTrainer(bot)

trainer.train("chatterbot.corpus.english.greetings", "chatterbot.corpus.english.conversations")

while True: user_input = input("You: ") response = bot.get_response(user_input) print("Bot: ", response)

I got a similar error that this issue meet:

File "/home/shihai/py_venv/309/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/spacy/util.py", line 438, in load_model
OSError: [E941] Can't find model 'en'. It looks like you're trying to load a model from a shortcut, which is obsolete as of spaCy v3.0. To load the model, use its full name instead:

nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
