I suppose you mean something like:

>>> Surface.fill(WHITE, myrect)

is it?

If this is the case, the rectangle would be scaled (so a rect of
100x200 would be scaled to a rect of 10x20 assuming scale=0.1). The
general idea would be: any argument to a surface method whose purpose
is to indicate a measure ((x,y) tuples, explicit width/height or tuples)
would be scaled. Any other parameter whose purpose is not defining
coordinates (colours, flags, surfaces...) wouldn't.

Again: not claiming this is the best way of doing it... just that this
is how I would try to implement it....
