+# 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.
