Description: As of verson 0.92 (current), the option "Export
Optimized SVG" uses the system installed "Scour" version
instead of an inner copy. [1]
[1] http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.92#Export_Optimized_SVG Currently, "scour" is maintained as AUR package and it's not mention as an (optional) requierement when installing Inkscape. Solution suggestion: move "scour" to Extra and add it as "optional dependency" (though highly needed) when installing. |

@alucryd, thank you very much :-)
I've tried the obvious - reinstalled both, deleted configs, rebooted... But I keep on getting:
Failed to import Python module 'scour'.
Please make sure it is installed (e.g. using 'pip install scour' or 'sudo apt-get install python-scour') and try again.
Details:
No module named scour
If a python module implements functionality that is useful *as an executable* both for python2 and python3, then the python2 script should be renamed to not conflict with the python3 package, e.g. the python-pip pkgbase. That isn't usually the case though, mainly for things that interact with python itself like pylint, flake8, ipython, pip of course...
The only reason to prefer the python2 module over the python3 executable, is if it needs to be imported from within an already-running python2 process. So if it were me, I would just delete the executable outright. :)
