Cannot finish installation due to python requirements (VSC-444)

I have been trying to install the VS Code extension for a day, tried different versions of the ISP-IDF and still hit the same block. Here’s the terminal output:

Checking ESP-IDF Python requirements using C:\Users\721850\.espressif\python_env\idf4.1_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe
Python requirements from c:\Users\721850\Documents\esp-idf-v4.1\requirements.txt are satisfied.

The following Python requirements are not satisfied:
backports.functools-lru-cache>=1.5
gcovr
graphviz
psutil>=5.5.1
pygdbmi>=0.9.0.0
pylint>=1.9.4
requests>=2.21.0
typing>=3.6.6
pywin32; platform_system == "Windows"
xmlrunner>=1.7.7
To install the missing packages, please run "c:\Users\721850\Documents\esp-idf-v4.1\install.bat"
Command failed: "C:\Users\721850\.espressif\python_env\idf4.1_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe" "c:\Users\721850\Documents\esp-idf-v4.1\tools\check_python_dependencies.py" -r "c:\Users\721850\.vscode-insiders\extensions\espressif.esp-idf-extension-0.4.0\esp_debug_adapter\requirements.txt"

I then run c:\Users\721850\Documents\esp-idf-v4.1\install.bat from the VS Code terminal and it succeeds, along with c:\Users\721850\Documents\esp-idf-v4.1\export.bat. After that I run C:\Users\721850\.espressif\python_env\idf4.1_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe c:\Users\721850\Documents\esp-idf-v4.1\tools\check_python_dependencies.py -r c:\Users\721850\.vscode-insiders\extensions\espressif.esp-idf-extension-0.4.0\esp_debug_adapter\requirements.txt and get the following output:

PS C:\Users\721850\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\ESP32_WiFiConnect> C:\Users\721850\.espressif\python_env\idf4.1_py3.8_env\Scripts\python.exe c:\Users\721850\Documents\esp-idf-v4.1\tools\check_python_dependencies.py -r c:\Users\721850\.vscode-insiders\extensions\espressif.esp-idf-extension-0.4.0\esp_debug_adapter\requirements.txt

Please let me know if there’s a fix for that.

I had the same problem today. Then I tried to directly install the missing packages, and that worked. In your case, it’s like python -m pip install -r c:\Users\721850\.vscode-insiders\extensions\espressif.esp-idf-extension-0.4.0\esp_debug_adapter\esp_debug_adapter\requirements.txt Try this in your directory C:\Users\721850\.espressif\python_env\idf4.1_py3.8_env\Scripts
