Python Scripting: Add New Scene to Scene Collection

[Mermaldad]

Hello all,

I'm brand new to OBS python scripting, and relatively new to the forum, so apologies if this is misplaced or any other faux pas. I have been using the OBS-Studio-Python-Scripting-Cheatsheet-obspython-Examples-of-API collection on GitHub to learn how to manipulate scenes with the intent of creating a script to populate a scene collection with a series of scenes. I have figured out how to add a variety of sources to an existing scene, but I can't find any reference to how to add a new scene to an existing scene collection. Figuring that the process probably parallels the adding of sources to a scene, I created the following code. However even if this is the right approach, I can't find a call to add the created scene to the scene collection, nor how to release the scene collection when I'm done. Can someone point me in the right direction?

class Example:
    def create_new_scene(self):
        scene_collection = current_scene = obs.obs_frontend_get_current_scene_collection()
        settings = obs.obs_data_create()

        obs.obs_data_set_bool(
            settings, "custom_size",
            False
        )
        source = obs.obs_source_create_private("scene",
                                               "Scene 3",
                                               settings)

        # obs.obs_scene_add(scene, source) # Need to modify this to add the scene to the current scene collection
        
        # obs.obs_scene_release(scene) # Need to modify this to release the scene collection
        obs.obs_data_release(settings)
        obs.obs_source_release(source)
