theres a driver for "adaptive server anywhere 9" in SQLA 0.5. in 0.6, we removed this driver since it hasn't been tested for a few years and replaced with one that is tested against Sybase ASE (which is the more important Sybase we'd like to support).
So in this case, assuming you want to go against 0.6, you'd probably take the 0.6 version, and modify it accordingly using hints from the 0.5 version. I don't get the impression that ASA and ASE are compatible with each other (though if thats not the case, then this whole thing becomes that much easier/better...the DBAPI situation for ASE is not terrific). Also you can start your dialect as an outside library, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1674841/how-do-i-write-an-external-dialect-for-sqlalchemy for info on how to make it into a plugin.
