Could use help. tried messing around with the variables, but it still wouldn't work.

how about import re as regex

your error was expalined i think.
no module name regex.

import re as regex

thats if you cant do without regex.
;)

if I ever have a module problem, how do I know how to fix it?

This kind of problem comes from old code which used module before it was accepted to distribution, and name changed. Google is your help, you can see how the deprecated modules functionality can be replaced with new module or if you only need name change. Better of course if the original code is well commented so that you get to understand what the missing library is supposed to do. So it is best to include stable Internet address link for the outside module used for your program in comments/docstring.

So now i'm wondering this- if I was to enter a print command in the gPats section where all the print commands are, how would I do so? because I have tried to enter a piece of code in the exact place I'm talking about-

[r'how are you',
  [ "I'm fine, thank you."]],

but it doesn't work correctly. Intead, it prints another command, such as "that's very interesting, please tell me more."

Maybe something like this:

File "C:\Python25\Therapy.py", line 61, in <module>
"Do you really want me to %1?"]],
TypeError: list indices must be integers

I put the No response in my program and it works without problem, I do not know what problem you have.

["Yes",
    [   "You seem quite sure.",
        "OK, but can you elaborate a bit?"]],

    ["No",
    [ "Why not?"]],
