Why is SQLAlchemy only installing itself in my Python 2.7 library?

I am on MacOS.

I am trying to write an ETL module for myself but I'm getting hung up on the fact that I cannot seem to get SQLAlchemy to install itself in my python 3.7 directory. It is installing itself fine in my 2.7 folder, even when I specify:

sudo pip3 install sqlalchemy

This is driving me nuts! I'd love any advice on the matter.

Below is what I am doing exactly:

User-MacBook-Pro:2.7 User$ pip3 install sqlalchemy --user

Try

pip3 -V

which will give something like this

pip 19.0.3 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

so you can know where your pip installation is. As an alternative to install the given module you can try

python3 -m pip install sqlalchemy
