title: Setting up Pyramid to use MySQL raw instead of SQLAlchemy
body: <p>We're trying to set up a Pyramid project that will use MySQL instead of SQLAlchemy.</p>
  
  <p>My experience with Pyramid/Python is limited, so I was hoping to find a guide online. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything to push us in the right direction. Most search results were for people trying to use raw SQL/MySQL commands with SQLAlchemy (many were re-posted links).</p>
  
  <p>Anyone have a useful tutorial on this?</p>
