Bug Description
When I try to save an svg file in "Optimized SVG" format I get the following error:
/**** error beign ****/
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:
cannot import name scourString
/**** error end ****/
I installed scour and verified it's installed in both suggested ways, restarted inkscape, restarted the PC, and still I get the same error.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 64bit, and Inkscape 0.92.3 (d244b95, 2018-08-02) installed through Ubuntu Software.

Hi Daniel,
one possibility is that you installed Scour for Python 3 whereas Inkscape still uses Python 2.
If you run "pip2 install scour" you should obtain the correct version in this case.
Another possibility is that you're using a Snap package. An indication for that is that your Inkscape build number / release date does not match that of the official 0.92.3 release. Could you try to find out so we can triage this accordingly?
