🔄 Key Changes

Technology Stack

Component	Node.js	Python
Framework	Express.js	Flask
ORM	Sequelize	SQLAlchemy
HTTP Client	node-fetch	requests
Package Manager	npm	pip
Runtime	Node.js	Python 3.8+

API Compatibility

✅ All endpoints preserved with same URLs ✅ Request/response formats maintained ✅ Same database schema ✅ Same business logic

Converted Features

• ✅ Training project management
• ✅ Label Studio integration
• ✅ YOLOX configuration and training
• ✅ File upload handling
• ✅ Image and annotation management
• ✅ COCO JSON generation
• ✅ Training logs

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install dependencies:

   cd backend
   python -m venv venv
   .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1  # Windows
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Run the server:

   python start.py
   

3. Server runs at: http://0.0.0.0:3000

📦 Dependencies Installed

• Flask 3.0.0 - Web framework
• Flask-CORS 4.0.0 - Cross-origin resource sharing
• Flask-SQLAlchemy 3.1.1 - ORM integration
• SQLAlchemy 2.0.23 - Database ORM
• PyMySQL 1.1.0 - MySQL driver
• requests 2.31.0 - HTTP client
• Pillow 10.1.0 - Image processing

⚠️ Important Notes

1. Virtual Environment: Always activate the virtual environment before running
2. Database: MySQL must be running with the myapp database created
3. Credentials: Update database credentials in app.py if needed
4. Python Version: Requires Python 3.8 or higher

🧪 Testing

Test the conversion:

# Get all training projects
curl http://localhost:3000/api/training-projects

# Get Label Studio projects
curl http://localhost:3000/api/label-studio-projects

📝 Original Files

Your original Node.js files remain untouched:

• server.js
• package.json
• routes/api.js
• models/*.js (JavaScript)
• services/*.js (JavaScript)

You can keep them as backup or remove them once you verify the Python version works correctly.

🔍 What to Verify

1. ✅ Database connection works
2. ✅ All API endpoints respond correctly
3. ✅ File uploads work
4. ✅ Label Studio integration works
5. ✅ YOLOX training can be triggered
6. ✅ COCO JSON generation works

🐛 Troubleshooting

See QUICKSTART.md for common issues and solutions.
