Is there a python function that sets ortho view such that X and Y axes are visible - the equivalent of numpad 7?

Thanks in advance!

  Enable python tooltips in the preferences, then go to View > Viewpoint > Top and wait a second.

  Why wouldn't this work: for area in bpy.context.screen.areas: if area.type=='VIEW_3D': bpy.ops.view3d.view_axis(type='TOP')

You can override the context when calling view_axis() operator:

import bpy
for area in bpy.context.screen.areas:
 if area.type == 'VIEW_3D':
 override = bpy.context.copy()
 override['area'] = area
 bpy.ops.view3d.view_axis(override, type='TOP')
 break
