This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at I use version 0.92 under windows 10 and I have a problem with optimized backup. The process does not go all the way and I have the following message:
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
Thank you for your return by explaining the procedure if there is one?
I specified that I installed the folder scour and I had a message telling me that the folder was already installed.

Re: optimized save with scour
Interesting.... I cannot reproduce the error with .92 in Win 8.1.
Do you recall which installer you used?... the .msi or the .exe installer?

Have a nice day.
I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1
The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Re: optimized save with scour
I understood that in the version windows x64 .exe "scour" was already installed.
So I simply used the command line of windows by positioning on the "python" directory by inserting "pip install scour" and "sudo apt-get install python-scour". In return, I had the message "already installed".

Does a search of your Inkscape directory look like this:

Re: optimized save with scour
Scour in the Inkscape directory looks like this:
Inkscape / python / lib / site-packages / ...
Inkscape / python / scripts / scour.exe
Thanks A+

Re: optimized save with scour
I'm having the same issue on two separate machines. Inkscape 0.92.1 (x64) on Win10 x64 (10.0.14393) on both.
A clean, full install using the exe installer does not solve the issue.
"pip install scour" says it is already installed.
Just now I did a clean install with the msi installer, fixed.
I'm not sure if it was the msi installer, or the fact that before doing the second clean install, I checked Programs and Features, and saw that there was two instances of Inkscape installed, 0.91 and 0.92.1. Removed both, did a new install with the msi package, voila...("keep preferences" was on, so there's no need to reconfigure).
Hope this helps you too.

I have the same issue with 0.92 in ubuntu 14.04.
Re: optimized save with scour
@thekalinga: what do you get when you enter 'scour --version' in the terminal?

Re: optimized save with scour
I fixed this on win7 by changing lines in file Inkscape\share\extensions\scour.inkscape.py
import scour
from scour.scour import scourString
on
import scour
from scour import scourString
Maybe it'll help someone

Re: optimized save with scour
@dirzhov: Did you have Inkscape 0.91 installed, then uninstalled it, then installed the latest version? There was a problem with the uninstaller of 0.91, which can lead to problems (because it forgot to remove the old python directories). If you reinstall the latest installation, that would potentially solve *all* related issues (like .plt export or some corel file format imports), not just this one.

Re: optimized save with scour
I had the same problem on Windows 7 64-bit, with Inkscape 0.92.1 installed with the EXE installer. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not solve the problem. Then, I followed the advice given by T4uru5, and reinstalled with the MSI installer: problem solved! I can now save optimized SVG.
