Please see the relevant guidelines:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#_multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name

That package is the example used on that page.  The name which should be
used is "python-sqlalchemy0.5".

The original message quoted the section about not using underscores,
plusses or periods as delimiters.  But this isn't a delimiter.  The
delimiter is the dash between "python" and "sqlalchemy" or between
"glibc" and "devel" in "glibc-devel".

No, not at all.  The guidelines use that consistently.  Though if you do
spot something you believe is a typo or other error in the guidelines,
please do open a ticket at https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/. You
can even send us a pull request.
