I am unable to build Avro for Python on OS X 10.6.8 because python-snappy
fails to build.  Is there a way around this?

I wrote a post here
http://datasyndrome.com/post/13707537045/booting-the-analytics-application-events-rubyabout
how to use Avro with Pig and Ruby.  The code is here:
https://github.com/rjurney/Booting-the-Analytics-Application  I am trying
to create Python instructions that parallel the Ruby ones.

I've tried multiple install methods, and I am unable to build
snappy-python, so the avro build fails.  This is the error message:

It appears that the python-snappy library assumes that the snappy library
has already been installed.  I saw similar errors, but once I installed
snappy (I use homebrew, so 'brew install snappy') python-snappy installs
fine.

I installed the snappy macport, and I still can't get snappy-python to
build.  I'll try switching to brew.

I installed brew, then ran 'brew install snappy', which worked.

But 'sudo python setup.py install' still fails, though with a different problem (I was getting the same compilation errors as below, now I get a broken pipe error).

Note that I have to run as sudo, otherwise I get:

Installing avro script to /usr/local/bin
error: /usr/local/bin/avro: Permission denied

I've added my vote to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-981, and a comment about why I think it's good to fix this issue.

In the meantime, we're going to use Avro 1.5.3

Thanks,

Avro 1.53 doesn't have this issue? Does it use python-snappy?

No - this was (I think) right before Tom committed support for Snappy in Python.
