Scaling option similar as linux pdfnup scaling

Question

I'm totally new to programming and I need to convert an .sh file to a .py file.

In this line:

pdfnup --nup 1x2 --no-landscape --scale 0.95 --suffix 'D' Lecture_0-D.pdf

How can we provide scaling in python pdfnup?

I haven't used it myself, but from the pdfnup examples:

You can use pdfnup as a Python module e.g. like in the following interactive Python session:
>>> from pdfnup import generateNup
>>>
>>> generateNup("file.pdf", 8, verbose=True)
written: file-8up.pdf

So presumably you could do this:

generateNup('Lecture_0-D.pdf', nup='1x2', no_landscape=True, scale=0.95, suffix='D')

But check generateNup's documentation about parameters to be sure.
