***********
kafka-python supports gzip compression/decompression natively. To produce or
-consume snappy and lz4 compressed messages, you must install `lz4` (`lz4-cffi`
-if using pypy) and/or `python-snappy` (also requires snappy library).
+consume lz4 compressed messages, you must install lz4tools and xxhash (modules
+may not work on python2.6). To enable snappy compression/decompression install
+python-snappy (also requires snappy library).
See `Installation <http://kafka-python.readthedocs.org/en/master/install.html#optional-snappy-install>`_
for more information.
