Error with ChatterBot library when running simple code

Question

I'm having trouble simply running this simple code here from lib ChatterBot:

from chatterbot import ChatBot 
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer 
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer 
  
bot = ChatBot('Bot') 
  
trainer = ListTrainer(bot) 
  
trainer.train([ 
    'Hi', 
    'Hello', 
    'I need roadmap for Competitive Programming', 
    'Just create an account on GFG and start', 
    'I have a query.', 
    'Please elaborate, your concern', 
    'How long it will take to become expert in Coding ?', 
    'It usually depends on the amount of practice.', 
    'Ok Thanks', 
    'No Problem! Have a Good Day!'
]) 
  
while True: 
    request=input('you :') 
    if request == 'OK' or request == 'ok': 
        print('Bot: bye') 
        break
    else: 
        response=bot.get_response(request) 
        print('Bot:', response) 

The problems presented are these:

Informations:

• Chatterbot==1.0.0 && 1.0.4 && 1.0.5 && 1.1.0
• Python==3.8.10

I thank you now!!

Try upgrading sqlalchemy to its current version (1.4.41):

pip install sqlalchemy --upgrade
