Dale,

You need to install a Python module that allows you to talk to SQL 
Anywhere. A quick search shows this - 
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sqlanydb/1.0.5

I've not used SQL Anywhere so can't testify if this is the best solution.

As you are using Anaconda it *should* be fairly straightforward to 
install this Python module. Run the "Anaconda Command Prompt" from your 
start menu and just type

c:\> conda install sqlanydb

Then after you have installed the package start up a Python prompt and 
follow the instructions on the package page link I included above.

Good luck,
Andy
