The answer is no. I went through the source code of cpython library and tracked to the draw image method call. See _drawturtle method of cpython library, where drawImage method is called with no information of variables like pensize or shapesize. I agree with @cdlane that you will have to use other resize using other libraries, however one tip, if you know beforehand the set of image sizes you will need, you can generate them and load during the game start instead of resizing at the runtime.
