Skillovate Python Service

Existing FastAPI backend (Skillovate V2), using MongoDB as the primary datastore with a SQLite fallback (app/database.py, app/mongodb.py). Lives in its own folder (python-service/) as an independent deployable from the Node API — see REQUIREMENTS.md for prerequisites and ../README.md for how this fits alongside it.

Quick start

cd python-service
python -m venv .venv && .venv\Scripts\activate   # Windows; use source .venv/bin/activate on macOS/Linux
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env   # fill in real values
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Structure (app/)

app/
  api/v1/         one router module per feature (auth, students, placements, tests, colleges, ...)
  core/           security, RBAC, middleware, exceptions, websocket manager
  models/         data models
  schemas/        Pydantic request/response schemas
  repositories/   data-access layer
  services/       business logic (auth_service, seed_service)
  config.py       settings (pydantic-settings, reads .env)
  database.py     SQLAlchemy/SQLite setup
  mongodb.py      MongoDB client (primary datastore)
  main.py         FastAPI app entrypoint — run via `uvicorn app.main:app`

Note on seed_mongo.py

This script used to contain a hardcoded, plaintext MongoDB Atlas connection string with credentials. It now reads MONGODB_URI/SUPER_ADMIN_EMAIL/SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD from the environment (.env) and refuses to run without them — but the credential that was previously hardcoded (KAVI123) is still compromised (it was committed to git history) and must be rotated in the Atlas console; removing it from this file does not undo the exposure.
