You cannot do it with the URL based syntax.

Here is a method that works:
If one runs a postgres server listening _only_ a Unix socket this code
below shows how to connect and SA engine to it.
import sqlalchemy as sa
conn_args = {
'host':'/tmp/pg',
'database':'t-design',
}
db = sa.create_engine('postgres://', connect_args = conn_args)
