I've been looking for a solution for several hours but got no luck..

Is there a way to make the camera's footstep smaller when moving "follow path"? (camera moves along a curve)

Put it another way, how can I decrease the distance on the curve that the camera moves between two frames? (in python script)

By default it moves way too fast...

With the curve selected; Select the Object Data tab in the Properties window, In the Path Animation panel change the Frames value, higher values result in a slower follow speed. enter image description here

Edit:
This value can be modified in python using the following line;

bpy.data.curves["NurbsPath"].path_duration = X

where NurbsPath is the name of your curve, and X is the value you would like to set.

    $\begingroup$ yes! bpy.data.curves["NurbsPath"].path_duration = X the X is exactly what the Frames in picture $\endgroup$
