I can see the issue. The error "Failed to import database extensions" is happening because the models/db.py file can't be imported. Let me check if it exists and what the issue is:

I found the issue. The models/__init__.py is trying to import from .db but that's causing a circular import issue. The db.py file is correctly defined, but the import in __init__.py is failing. Let me fix the import order:

Now let me verify the user.py file exists and check if there are any import issues there:

I found the issue - the user.py file is trying to import from configuration.extensions which doesn't exist. It should import from .db. Let me fix this:

I've fixed the import issues that were causing the "Failed to import database extensions" error. The problem was a circular import issue where user.py was trying to import from a non-existent configuration.extensions module. Now it correctly imports from .db where the SQLAlchemy extensions are defined. Your Flask backend with PostgreSQL should now start without import errors.

I can see the issue now. This is a SQLAlchemy compatibility issue with Python 3.13. The attached file sqlcore-operations-trbQf.py is a patched version that fixes this problem. Let me copy it to the correct location in your virtual environment:

Let me create a Python script that will patch the SQLAlchemy installation to fix the Python 3.13 compatibility issue:

Now let me also create a requirements.txt update that specifies compatible versions:

Now let me update the requirements.txt to use a SQLAlchemy version compatible with Python 3.13:

Now let me create a setup guide for fixing the issue:

I've identified and fixed the issue! This is a Python 3.13 compatibility problem with SQLAlchemy 2.0.23. Here's what I did:

Changes Made:

1. Updated requirements.txt - Changed SQLAlchemy from version 2.0.23 to >=2.0.31, which includes the Python 3.13 compatibility fix.
2. Created fix_sqlalchemy.py - A backup patch script that can automatically fix your SQLAlchemy installation if needed.
3. Created PYTHON313_FIX.md - Comprehensive troubleshooting guide with multiple solutions.

To fix your issue, run:

This should resolve the AssertionError and your Flask app should start successfully with PostgreSQL!
