Each page can be in a different orientation, but you can use PyPDF to detect the page size of the first page and determine the orientation accordingly:

from PyPDF2  import PdfFileReader

pdf = PdfFileReader(file('example.pdf'))
page = pdf.getPage(0).mediaBox
if page.getUpperRight_x() - page.getUpperLeft_x() > page.getUpperRight_y() - page.getLowerRight_y():
    print('Landscape')
else:
    print('Portrait')

It is not necessary to calculate the size

from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = PdfReader('example.pdf')
page = pdf.getPage(1)
if page.MediaBox[3] > page.MediaBox[4]:
    print('P')
else:
    print('L')
