From what I know, and what is pratically done, one would name the compatibility package "python-sqlalchemy05".
Please see the relevant guidelines:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Naming/#_multiple_...
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".
I assume the period slipped in the package name when preparing some copy-pasta. :P
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.
