I run this code which I found over at the chatterbot training examples on Github and it all went well. It downloaded and extracted the file correctly as everything should be. Then I run my code and the file kinda froze.
This is the code:
import logging
from chatterbot import ChatBot
from chatterbot.trainers import UbuntuCorpusTrainer
# Enable info level logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
chatbot = ChatBot('Example Bot')
trainer = UbuntuCorpusTrainer(chatbot)
# Start by training our bot with the Ubuntu corpus data
trainer.train()
# Now let's get a response to a greeting
response = chatbot.get_response('How are you doing today?')
print(response)
And here is the error I get:

RuntimeError:
An attempt has been made to start a new process before the
current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.
This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
in the main module:
if __name__ == '__main__':
freeze_support()
...
The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.
Note that the code keeps running without crashing but it doesn't seem to do anything.
