doc = fitz.open("mypdf.pdf") # open the PDF
page = doc[n] # read page n (zero-based)
page.setRotate(-90) # rotate page by 90 degrees counter-clockwise
doc.save(doc.name, incremental = True) # update the file - a sub-second matter
doc.close()

works for all Python 2 & 3 platforms 2.7 and up, 32bit & 64bit.
Other new features of this version include deleting, copying and moving pages around - and accessing PDF annotations.
NB: look at branch 1.9.3 in GitHub while this is awaiting to be released.
The above is VERY fast:
To rotate all 1.310 pages of Adobe's manual takes below 1.5 seconds on my machine (Windows 10, 4.0 GHz, 8 GB RAM).
