Research direction

Start by locating the _snappy binding and checking how it is exposed from the package. Read the Fedora review discussion linked in the issue for the namespace requirement. Done means the private binding is no longer placed in the global namespace without breaking the package interface.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

During the package review for fedora, the reviewer spotted that _snappy is in the global namespace. Since it is private it may be a good idea to move it in its own namespace. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1244514#c10
