Problems installing snappy on python on Alpine Linux

When i am trying to install Snappy on alpine linux using: pip install snappy I am getting the following error when it tries to install a required package called cypari.

I installed snappy from "apk add snappy"

    gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -g -DNDEBUG -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -g -fPIC -Ilibcache/pari64/include -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c cypari_src/_pari.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/cypari_src/_pari.o
