It could be that \includegraphics needs an expandable TeX form for its
filename, and \py probably isn't. I haven't tried pythontex yet (I
didn't know about it before your posting), so I can only guess. I am
going to try it out later. But if I am correct then the following might
work:

\newcommand{\filename}{}
\edef\filename{\py{outputfile}}

\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{\filename}
