-# Getting Started with Python
+# Simple Social Media API
 
-Here's the starting point for your Python app development.
+A FastAPI-based social media backend API built according to the Product Requirements Document. This API allows users to create, retrieve, update, and delete posts; add comments; and like/unlike posts.
 
-If you want to see the complete example, check out this directory, [/complete/python](../complete/python/).
+## Features
+
+- **Posts Management**: Create, read, update, and delete posts
+- **Comments System**: Add, read, update, and delete comments on posts  
+- **Likes System**: Like and unlike posts
+- **SQLite Database**: Persistent storage with automatic initialization
+- **OpenAPI Documentation**: Auto-generated Swagger UI and ReDoc
+- **CORS Support**: Enabled for all origins for development
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+python/
+├── main.py           # FastAPI application entry point
+├── models.py         # SQLModel data models and schemas
+├── database.py       # Database configuration and session management
+├── api.py           # API route handlers and business logic
+├── sns_api.db       # SQLite database file (created automatically)
+├── test_api.sh      # Comprehensive API test script
+├── .venv/           # Python virtual environment
+└── README.md        # This file
+```
+
+## Setup and Installation
+
+1. **Virtual Environment**: Already set up with `uv`
+   ```bash
+   source .venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+2. **Dependencies**: Installed via `uv`
+   - FastAPI
+   - SQLModel (includes SQLAlchemy and Pydantic)
+   - Uvicorn (ASGI server)
+
+## Running the Application
+
+### Start the Server
+
+```bash
+# Activate virtual environment
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Start the server
+uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
+
+# Or with auto-reload for development
+uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
+```
+
+The API will be available at: `http://localhost:8000`
+
+### API Documentation
+
+- **Swagger UI**: http://localhost:8000/docs
+- **ReDoc**: http://localhost:8000/redoc  
+- **OpenAPI JSON**: http://localhost:8000/openapi.json
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Posts
+- `GET /api/posts` - List all posts
+- `POST /api/posts` - Create a new post
+- `GET /api/posts/{post_id}` - Get a specific post
+- `PATCH /api/posts/{post_id}` - Update a post
+- `DELETE /api/posts/{post_id}` - Delete a post
+
+### Comments
+- `GET /api/posts/{post_id}/comments` - List comments for a post
+- `POST /api/posts/{post_id}/comments` - Create a comment
+- `GET /api/posts/{post_id}/comments/{comment_id}` - Get a specific comment
+- `PATCH /api/posts/{post_id}/comments/{comment_id}` - Update a comment
+- `DELETE /api/posts/{post_id}/comments/{comment_id}` - Delete a comment
+
+### Likes
+- `POST /api/posts/{post_id}/likes` - Like a post
+- `DELETE /api/posts/{post_id}/likes` - Unlike a post
+
+## Example Usage
+
+### Create a Post
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/posts \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "john_doe",
+    "content": "Just had an amazing hike in the mountains! #outdoorlife"
+  }'
+```
+
+### Add a Comment
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/posts/{post_id}/comments \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "jane_smith", 
+    "content": "Great photo! Where was this taken?"
+  }'
+```
+
+### Like a Post
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/posts/{post_id}/likes \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "username": "mike_wilson"
+  }'
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the comprehensive test script:
+```bash
+./test_api.sh
+```
+
+This script tests all major API functionality including creating posts, comments, and likes.
+
+## Database
+
+- **Type**: SQLite
+- **File**: `sns_api.db` 
+- **Initialization**: Automatic on application startup
+- **Schema**: Defined using SQLModel with proper relationships and constraints
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **Framework**: FastAPI with SQLModel
+- **Database ORM**: SQLAlchemy (via SQLModel)
+- **Validation**: Pydantic (via SQLModel)
+- **ASGI Server**: Uvicorn
+- **CORS**: Enabled for all origins
+- **Documentation**: Auto-generated OpenAPI 3.1.0 spec
+
+## Compliance
+
+This implementation strictly follows the provided OpenAPI specification and Product Requirements Document:
+
+- ✅ All endpoints implemented as specified
+- ✅ Proper HTTP status codes (200, 201, 204, 400, 404, 500)
+- ✅ JSON request/response format
+- ✅ Data validation and error handling
+- ✅ SQLite database with automatic initialization
+- ✅ CORS enabled for all origins
+- ✅ Port 8000 as specified
+- ✅ Swagger UI and OpenAPI documentation
+- ✅ No authentication (as specified in requirements)
