The surfarray code for this would not be complicated. Off the top of my
head, this should do the job

def multiply_alpha(surf, value):
    """Multiple the pixel alphas. Value range is 0 - 255."""
    alpha = pygame.surfarray.pixels_alpha(surf)
    multAlpha = alpha * value
    multAlpha >>= 8
    alpha[:] = multAlpha.astype(Numeric.UInt8)
