Entry Point Fix

Ensure your setup.py has a correct entry point:

entry_points={
    "console_scripts": [
        "chatbot-interact=chatbot.interact:main"
    ]
}

And inside chatbot/interact.py, define a main() function:

def main():
    chatbot = Chatbot()
    chatbot.chat()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Troubleshooting

If the chatbot-interact command is not found, try:
```
python -m chatbot.interact
```
If installation fails, ensure you are in the correct environment and have pip updated:
```
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
```
