How to install pyrealsense2 on Python 3 and Visual Studio Code?

[yaadd]

I am for several hours not able to install the actual python library for my realsense d435 on my system.

• System: Win10 64 bit, Python 3.7, Visual Studio Code 1.3, Realsense SDK 2.0 Version 1.7

• "pip install pyrealsense2" throws " Could not find version that satisfies the requirement"
• i tried cmake but it doesnt support Visual Studio Code
• the git documentary couldnt really help me so far

Also when i open the Realsense-Viewer it finds the camera but gives the following error:

"Unknown in rs2_create_device(info_list:000001724ADA08F0, index:0):

Could not initialize extensions controls!"

• I tried activating the camera usage for app but it was already turned on

The FirmwareUpdatingTool returns that the firmware is actual

Installing Pyrealsense2 on Windows seems like it can be complicated, my research indicates. I came across a method that somebody posted for doing it the long way without pip. They were using Python 3.6.
