Introduction

What is python3-scour
python3-scour is:
Scour is a Python module that aggressively cleans SVG files, removing a lot of unnecessary information that certain tools or authors embed into their documents. The goal of scour is to provide an identically rendered image (i.e. a scoured document should have no discernible visible differences from the original file) while minimizing the file size.
WARNING: Scour is intended to be run on files that have been edited in Vector Graphics editors such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. Scour attempts to optimize the file, and as result, it will change the file’s structure and (possibly) its semantics. If you have hand-edited your SVG files, you will probably not be happy with the output of Scour.
Never use scour to overwrite your original file!
