# VS Code Python Interpreter Configuration
The red import errors you're seeing are because VS Code needs to be configured to use the virtual environment.
## Quick Fix
1. **Open Command Palette** (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P)
2. Type: `Python: Select Interpreter`
3. Choose: `./venv/bin/python` or `Python 3.x.x ('venv': venv)`
## Alternative: Check .vscode/settings.json
Ensure this file exists in your project root with:
```json
{
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "${workspaceFolder}/backend/venv/bin/python",
"python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true,
"python.analysis.extraPaths": [
"${workspaceFolder}/backend"
]
}
```
## Verify Installation
The files are actually working correctly. You can verify by running:
```bash
cd backend
source venv/bin/activate
python check_database_health.py # Works!
python test_upload.py # Works!
python optimize_database.py # Works!
```
## The 3 Files Showing Red (but working correctly)
1. **optimize_database.py** - Database optimization script
2. **check_database_health.py** - Database health monitoring
3. **test_upload.py** - Image upload testing utility
All dependencies are installed in `backend/venv/` - just need to tell VS Code to use it.
