Make sure you install the VSCode python extension along with Pylint. It will probably prompt you to do it once you open main.py.

commands to run

This will set up your virtual environment where your python deps will get installed

python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate

Then install all dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the app

uvicorn main:app --reload

This will kick off the FastAPI app and you should get a prompt on how to open it in a new browser tab. Codespaces will pick that for you.

If Pylint complains about unable to find imports, you might need to make sure vscode is using the pylint installed with the virtual environment and not the default one. Found instructions here. To do this:

1. Hit "ctrl" + ","
2. Search for "pylint import"
3. Change dropdpwn to "fromEnvironment"
4. Click on the Codespaces icon in the bottom left and click "Rebuild Container"

Should we focus on system design and Architecture first?
