@Silvio:

1) Inkscape extensions require Python2, and won't run with Python3. It's up to the packager of inkscape for your distro to handle the migration from Python2 to Python3, not an Inkscape bug. Installing python modules for Python3 won't help (python-based extensions shipping with Inkscape are not yet compatible with Python3, and expect to run in a spawned Python2 process).

2) The errors on copy&pasting are likely due to
- Bug #418242 “Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on copy”

Check whether you have one of the applications known to trigger it installed, and e.g. disable clipboard monitoring for any download helper apps while working with Inkscape.
