Rasa init training - no module namd past?

Rasa Open Source
1

I’m trying to create a rasa chatbot with rasa init, and am opting into the initial training. I have no idea where this error message is coming from: the future library is installed properly and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but this error persists. I am using Python 3.9.13 and a venv.

Finished creating project structure.
? Do you want to train an initial model? 💪🏽 Yes
