Error using Chatterbot while using a 64-bit system

Question

I' am currently trying to develop a Chatbot using pythons open-source 'chatterbot' library and I have run into an error whilst trying to execute a program.

I'm using Python 3.7. on the anaconda terminal i receive the error:

OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

after executing the code below though the anaconda terminal, is there something obvious that I' am missing or are there any suggestions for how i could proceed?

from chatterbot import ChatBot
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer
import os

bot = ChatBot('Bot')
bot.set_trainer(ListTrainer)

for files in os.listdir('C:/Users/ben\ChatterBot-master\chatterbot- 
corpus-master\chatterbot_corpus\data\english/'):
        data = open('C:/Users/ben\ChatterBot-master\chatterbot-corpus- 

master\\chatterbot_corpus\\data\\english/' + files ,'r').readlines() bot.train(data)

while True:
        message = input ('You:')
        if message.strip() != 'Bye':
                reply = bot.get_response(message)
                print('ChatBot :',reply)
        if message.strip() == 'Bye':
                print('Chatbot : Bye')
                break

I expected the terminal to begin the chatbot conversation but i cannot get past this error, i have tried removing and reinstalling python to no avail.

Windows is complaining that what you're trying to run is not an executable. I suspect that you're trying to run something.py in your terminal. Run python something.py instead to have the Python interpreter run your file.
