for Oracle Linux with Python 3.X:

you need to enable optional_latest repository as a first step,

1. use for enabling the following repo

   $ yum-config-manager --enable ol7_optional_latest

   "ol7_optional_latest" repo will be enabled for yum lookup.

2. then install packages using,

   $ yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ snappy snappy-devel

3. then with pip install the python-snappy package,

   $ pip3 install python-snappy
