cannot properly import the chatterbot and its corpus

Question

I have used:

|
+ -  lib
|     |
|     + - chatterbot
|     |
|     + - chatterbot_corpus
+ -  main.py

I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
    from lib.chatterbot.chatterbot import ChatBot
  File "D:\Workspace\PYTHON\phraser\lib\chatterbot\chatterbot\__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from .chatterbot import ChatBot
  File "D:\Workspace\PYTHON\phraser\lib\chatterbot\chatterbot\chatterbot.py", line 3, in <module>
    from .storage import StorageAdapter
  File "D:\Workspace\PYTHON\phraser\lib\chatterbot\chatterbot\storage\__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .django_storage import DjangoStorageAdapter
  File "D:\Workspace\PYTHON\phraser\lib\chatterbot\chatterbot\storage\django_storage.py", line 1, in <module>
    from chatterbot.storage import StorageAdapter
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chatterbot'

How can I solve this?

I don't want to install the module in python.

where is `__init__.py` files ? read this https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#packages — Druta Ruslan, May 21 '18 at 18:39

To install chatterbot you can simply fire the command.

pip install chatterbot

After installing chatterbot you should install chatterbot-coprus.

pip install chatterbot-coprus

If above command does not work. Then try bellow. I did struggle a lot. I tried with python 3.7 and 3.6 , I was facing the same issue. finally i manually download and pasted in the C:\Python\python36\Lib\site-packages and it worked . make sure you put your python path correctly.
