Issue Description

I updated python from 3.9 to 3.10 and pip to 21.3.1, I tried to reinstall pyrealsense2 with pip and this error shows:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyrealsense2 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyrealsense2

Will there be a pip package for 3.10?

Hi @arsanysamuel At the time of writing this, Python 3.9 is the most recent version supported by pip install. The pyrealsense2 wrapper can built from source code for Python versions unsupported by pip install though. The wrapper can either be built separately or at the same time as the librealsense SDK is built from source with CMake.

I do not have information regarding future plans and implementation timescales for pip install support of Python 3.10. If you need to use pip, there was a very detailed discussion of workarounds for unsupported Python versions in #8229 where a RealSense user suggested updating the whl file for newer versions using a hex editor at #8229 (comment)

Hi @arsanysamuel Do you require further assistance with this case, please? Thanks!

@MartyG-RealSense Thanks for your assistance.
I'm having some trouble trying to install the compiled wrapper on a virtual environment, the wrapper installs by default on the main environment.

Hi @arsanysamuel Are you using a Virtual Machine (VM)? If you are, which VM software are you using (Oracle VirtualBox, VMWare Workstation Player, etc).

@MartyG-RealSense Thanks for replying, I'm using Arch Linux as my main operating system with Python 3.10.
I compiled librealsense from source but pyrealsense2 was installed on the main python environement, how can I install it on a virtual environment?

[MartyG-RealSense]

My understanding is that in a situation like this, the Python targetting problem would be handled by defining a symbolic link (symlink) with an '-s' command like #1657 (comment) describes for pyrealsense2

There is also a general tutorial about symlinks on Linux at the link below.
