Error installing python-snappy with python 3.11

[Skully17]

Hello, I'm upgrading the python version we use from 3.9 to 3.11. When trying to install python-snappy with pip it fails:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

After running:
sudo apt install libsnappy-dev
python-snappy installs fine. It seems to be the intention, however, to remove libsnappy-dev from reading this PR: 130. Is this right?

I have made a dev release of our cramjam version. You can try with

pip install --pre python-snappy

which should get you version 0.7.0.dev0
