If the .py file is in $HOME/.gimp-2.2/plug-ins and it's executable, it
should appear in the Python-Fu menu (at least it does for me):
Python-Fu -> Selection -> Transparency Crop

In a terminal, type:
python
And press enter.  You should get some info about your version of
Python and be left with a prompt that looks like:
>>>

Next, type:
import scipy
and press enter - if it throws an error there, scipy is not fully installed.
