One of the "mission critical" packages has a "private" module called snappy, but a widely used Google compression package also called snappy has been installed on many systems. Envs are, however, problematic for the group of users who have never used a command-liine before. They are often puzzled why their GUI tool doesn't find the package they just installed to a Python env. -- George N. White III
