To use ROOT from Python, the Snap package bundles its own Python 3.8 interpreter
that knows where to find the ROOT libraries. This is done to avoid interference
with other system packages. You should use `pyroot` rather than `python` to make
use of the PyROOT features with the Snap package:
```python
$ pyroot
Python 3.8.10 (default, Jun 22 2022, 20:18:18)
[GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ROOT
>>>
```

The Snap package uses C++17. See our [dedicated blog post]({{'/blog/snap-announcement/' | relative_url}}) for more information, or visit the official [ROOT Snap package](https://snapcraft.io/root-framework){:target="\_blank"} page.
