Well, if you don't mind the file ending up in your /tmp, you could save
the python script as e.g. "save-clipboard-image.py" and make another
script "save-clipboard-image-tmp.sh" that does


    #!/bin/sh
    cd /tmp
    /path/to/save-clipboard-image.py -o


You might want to change "xdg-open" to "gimp" in the script in case it
opens in the wrong program.

Then just make a shortcut to "save-clipboard-image-tmp.sh" from
wherever (remember to chmod +x them).
