Ubuntu has the "snap" package system and a "snap" program. The European Space Agency (ESA) has the "SeNtinel Application Platform" (SNAP) that provides a "snap" program.

SNAP is a general purpose, high performance system for analysis and manipulation of large networks. python-snappy ยท PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/python-snappy/> <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=python%20snappy%20compression+site:pypi.org&atb=v217-1> https://pypi.org/project/python-snappy/ Python library for the snappy compression library from Google.
