Hopefully, http://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/confinement will shed some
light on the different confinement policies.

An easy way to achieve this is to install the "classic" snap [1]. It
gives you a classic ubuntu environment on top of Ubuntu Core, to install
snapcraft for example.

Here is another piece of doc [2] on this topic, not published yet, that
will be helpful in terms of dev workflow on your pi.

Re: Is there any guidance/document about how to write App-provided slots

I don't think we have a document for this yet, except the general
interfaces overview that only mentions it as a possibility (
http://snapcraft.io/docs/core/interfaces ).

As far as I know, only two snaps are providing their own slots: the core
snap and bluez.
If it can help in the meantime, the source code I've found for the bluez
snap is at:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bluetooth/bluez/snap-core-rolling/files

CCing Morphis and Zyga for more information.

Cheers,
David

Hi Marco,

that doc is on its way to the site. In the meantime, you can run
`snapcraft help python`.

You can find these details in the docs here:
