I believe I may have corrected this issue as of the latest release (1.0.8) see #2027 for details. Essentially the solution I have decided to go with is that spacy is no longer going to be installed as a part of ChatterBot's default installation.

Fee free to let me know if this doesn't resolve your issue, or open a new ticket if you encounter any other problems.
