Answer 1

Unfortunately, there are multiple things in python-land called "snappy". I believe you may have the wrong one, in which case one of the following conda commands should solve this for you:

conda install python-snappy

or

conda install python-snappy -c conda-forge

where the latter is slightly more recent (releases the GIL which can be important in threaded applications).
