pygame.image.scale is a bitmap-only scale, so you will lose a lot of quality with it and it will look bad - but it's fast. pygame.image.rotozoom will give you much higher quality filtered results, and will preserve the image quality. I'm not sure about the outline - if you are blitting with alpha it should be ok. If you are blitting with color_key than rotozoom might introduce anti-aliasing artifacts on the edges.
But yes, the function your looking for is rotozoom.
Or use OpenGL.
