It depends :)

If you want tifffile.py to be importable as a python module, than it 
probably should still be installed in /usr/lib/pymodules/... as usual.

Also, you probably the .py extension should be dropped for the 
executable in /usr/bin/.

You probably will need to provide a separate executable file in /usr/bin.
