It's already mentioned at the bottom of the README, visible from the main SimpInkScr page:

Simple Inkscape Scripting can also save illustrations from the Inkscape GUI to a Python script that, when run, reproduces the original illustration. (Note, though, that not all Inkscape features are currently supported.) From File → Save a Copy…, simply select Simple Inkscape Scripting script (*.py) from the pull-down menu at the bottom of the dialog box. This can be useful, for instance, for manually drawing a complex object then using Simple Inkscape Scripting to replicate and transform it.

I suppose I can add a section header to draw more attention to that text if you think it would help.

Is there other information you believe should be included?

As there's been no activity on this issue in two weeks, I added some section headers to the README.md file in 06e17c12f681bee5efc5a0dc8144b9561bde9c3b to draw more attention to Simple Inkscape Scripting's ability to export to a .py file. Closing the issue now…
