title: Can not import snappy in python
body: <p>I use the package named python-snappy. This package requires <a href="https://code.google.com/p/snappy/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">snappy</a> library. So, I download and install snappy successfully by the following commands such as:</p>
  <pre><code>./configure
  make
  sudo make install
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I import snappy, I receive the errors:</p>
  <pre><code>from _snappy import CompressError, CompressedLengthError, \
  ImportError: libsnappy.so.1 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  <p>I'm using Python 2.7, snappy, python-snappy and Ubuntu 12.04
  How can I fix this problem?
  Thanks</p>
