What Causes the Error?

The error typically arises from a compatibility issue between TFLearn and the version of TensorFlow installed on your machine. As of now, TFLearn supports TensorFlow version up to 1.2. If you have installed a newer version, such as TensorFlow 2.x, this can lead to the errors you're experiencing.

Solution: Downgrading TensorFlow

To resolve this issue and ensure compatibility, you need to downgrade your TensorFlow version. Follow these steps to do so:

Step 1: Uninstall Current TensorFlow

Before installing an older version of TensorFlow, it's essential first to remove the current installation. Open your command line interface (CLI) and run the following commands:

This installation will provide the necessary support for TFLearn and resolve the ImportError issues you were facing.

Verifying Your Installation

After installing TensorFlow 1.15, re-run your chatbot code snippet to verify that everything is working correctly. If you don't see the import errors anymore, congratulations! You've successfully fixed the issue and can continue developing your chatbot.

Conclusion

Encountering the ImportError: DLL load failed message can be frustrating, especially when you are eager to move forward with your project. However, by understanding the compatibility issues between TensorFlow and TFLearn and downgrading TensorFlow to version 1.15, you can resolve the problem.
