I'm having a similar issue, could you let me know if you were able to resolve?

[lagrahhn]

我也遇到了这样的问题，似乎是新的版本有问题，下载1.0.4的chatterbot是可行的，pip install chatterbot -i https://pypi.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/simple，然后可能会报错缺少哪些模块，下载即可。如果，报错module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'，到sqlalchemy\util\compat.py，将原来的time_func = time.clock修改为time.将clock更改为perf_counter。
You can install the 1.0.4 version, and if there are some error, you just install them. Then, if there is a error that module 'time' has no attribute 'clock', find the file path sqlalchemy\util\compat.py, replace time_func = time.clock to time_func = time.perf_counter.

ChatterBot last update was 3 years ago. Maybe not active anymore?

[KoenVanderBurg]

Same issue here, solved it by installing specific version chatterbot == 1.0.4 .
If this does not work, you can always try installing by cloning the repo and running setup.py.
