I cannot use the python chatterbot library

Question

I’m trying to create a bot for personal purposes so I tried to install the python chatterbot but when trying to run the code it accuses an error I already tried to install other versions of Python searched on forums but I did not find anyone who had passed so tbm, the code is very simple:

from chatterbot import ChatBot
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer
chatbot = ChatBot("Ron Obvious")
conversation = [
    "Hello",
    "Hi there!",
    "How are you doing?",
    "I'm doing great.",
    "That is good to hear",
    "Thank you.",
    "You're welcome."
]

trainer = ListTrainer(chatbot)

trainer.train(conversation)
response = chatbot.get_response("Good morning!")
print(response)

When I run the coidigo it returns the following error:

I am currently using python 3.7 but the same error occurs in 3.6 and 3.8 I use windows 10 64 bits and python was installed directly by the official website.

The IDE searches for the module at those local addresses listed under "file ...". Probably you may have installed the chatterbot module in another folder that is not the one the IDE is going to look for. For this reason, she accuses the error of not having found the module on your computer. If that’s right, take the folder where you installed the chatterbot and cut it to that address the IDE is looking for. This address is the folder that contains the python interpreter, if the module is not in the same folder as the interpreter, the module is not found. I hope I’ve helped.
