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!

$\begingroup$ Thanks; when I tried the code it threw this error: RuntimeError: Operator bpy.ops.view3d.view_axis.poll() failed, context is incorrect $\endgroup$– vndepAug 26, 2019 at 14:27

$\begingroup$ Why wouldn't this work: for area in bpy.context.screen.areas: if area.type=='VIEW_3D': bpy.ops.view3d.view_axis(type='TOP') $\endgroup$– vndepAug 26, 2019 at 14:44

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
