Though pip says it's installed.But I can't find them in sys.path output.

Installing SQLAlchemy on Windows You can install it by double clicking the . msi file. After you have installed Python on your Windows system, you can download the source code of SQLAlchemy from SQLAlchemy Download Page and install it using its setup.py script. Plain-Python build succeeded.
Step 1 − Install Flask-SQLAlchemy extension. Step 2 − You need to import SQLAlchemy class from this module. Step 3 − Now create a Flask application object and set URI for the database to be used. Step 4 − Then create an object of SQLAlchemy class with application object as the parameter.
SQLAlchemy is a library that facilitates the communication between Python programs and databases. Most of the times, this library is used as an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) tool that translates Python classes to tables on relational databases and automatically converts function calls to SQL statements.
Did you install flask-sqlalchemy? It looks like you have SQLAlchemy installed but not the Flask extension. Try pip install Flask-SQLAlchemy in your project's virtualenv to install it from PyPI.

I just experienced the same problem. Apparently, there is a new distribution method, the extension code is no longer stored under flaskext.
Source: Flask CHANGELOG This worked for me:
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
