To install it on Python 2.6, you need to get the VC++ 2008 Express Edition. 
After you install it, run the python sybase install script from within the 
Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt shell. A shortcut to it is supposed to be 
available inside the VC++2008 folder under Start > Programs

If this does not work as expected (which happened to me on one workstation), 
I manually ran the target of the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt shortcut 
on a command prompt and then ran the python sybase install script.

Please, let me know how it goes.
