AttributeError: module 'time' has no attribute 'clock'

See original GitHub issue

When trying to make an instance of the ChatBot class and the try to get the response from the user’s input, I get an error that the time module doesn’t have a ‘clock’ attribute. Here’s my code:

from chatterbot import ChatBot
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer

chatbot = ChatBot('Sofia')

trainer = ListTrainer(chatbot=chatbot)

trainer.train(
    "Hey",
    "Hi, how can I help you?",
    "Can you show me the weather please?",
    "Sure! Coming right up.",
    "Thanks",
    "You're welcome!"
)

while True:
    user_input = input('You: ')
    response = chatbot.get_response(user_input)
    print(f"Sofia: {response}")

And this is the full traceback:

A common error SOLVED If you are using Python 3.8 , download the previous version

Go to CMD pip install chatterbot==1.0.4

This will work and everything is installed

You will probably get an error after some time, where it says File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\util\compat.py

", line 264, in <module> time_func = time.clock AttributeError: module ‘time’ has no attribute ‘clock’

This is because time.clock() function was removed in Py 3.8.

Go to the search bar and then paste the location given right above the last line of error

It will look something like this : C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\sqlalchemy\util\compat.py

Open file with IDLE or whatever editor you have

Then , go to line 264 in that . It would be written time_func = time.clock()

Instead of this change, it to time.perf_counter()

Save the file and now run it. It will work

Alright sorry for the late response, that worked fine, for some reason pip didn’t install the latest version by default, not sure why… i had to manually do pip install chatterbot==1.0.7

Chatterbot version chatterbot==1.0.7 and chatterbot==1.0.8 are not available not to install and version 1.10 is failing while installation.
