# Scour # Scour
Scour is a Python module that takes an SVG file and produces a cleaner and more concise file. It is intended to be used after exporting with a GUI editor, such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
Scour is a Python module that takes an input SVG and outputs a cleaner, ## Requirements
more concise SVG file. The goal is that authors will use this script after * [Python](https://www.python.org) 2.6 or later
editing the file in a GUI editor such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. * [six](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six) 1.9 or later
* [psyco](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psyco) (optional, Python 2.6 only)
Scour was started as a vehicle for me to learn Python. In addition, the goal ## Installation
is to reduce the amount of time I spend in cleaning up files I find on sites Scour can be installed manually or with a package manager, such as [pip](https://pip.pypa.io) or [Homebrew](http://brew.sh). It is also included as an Inkscape extension and in some Linux distributions.
such as openclipart.org
Ideas are pulled from three places: ### Manual installation
Download Scour and six and locate the `setup.py` file in both packages. Open a console and enter the following commands:
```
python /path/to/six/setup.py install
```
```
python /path/to/Scour/setup.py install
```
Do the same if you want to use psyco.
* my head ### Package manager
* Sam Ruby's SVG Tidy script: http://intertwingly.net/code/svgtidy/svgtidy.rb To install Scour using pip, enter the following command into a console:
* Inkscape's proposal for a 'cleaned SVG': http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Save_Cleaned_SVG ```
pip install scour
```
Regards, To do the same with Homebrew:
```
brew install scour
```
Jeff Schiller, 2009-04-06 Using pip or Homebrew will install six automatically (Homebrew will also install Python, if not installed).

## Usage ## Usage
Standard: Standard:
```
scour -i input.svg -o output.svg
```
Better (for older versions of Internet Explorer):
```
scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing
```
Maximum scrubbing:
```
scour -i input.svg -o output.svg --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
--enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
```
Maximum scrubbing and a compressed SVGZ file:
```
scour -i input.svg -o output.svgz --enable-viewboxing --enable-id-stripping \
--enable-comment-stripping --shorten-ids --indent=none
```
scour -i mysvg.svg -o mysvg_opt.svg ## Licence
