camera = viewport.defaultCamera()
camera.setRotation(
    hou.hmath.buildRotateZToAxis(
        hou.Vector3(0, -1, 0)
        ).extractRotationMatrix3()
)

It seems to work, but I'm not sure if modifying defaultCamera() is the recommended way to do it.

You can do it like this:

desktop = hou.ui.curDesktop()
viewport = desktop.paneTabOfType(hou.paneTabType.SceneViewer)
if viewport.isCurrentTab():
    view = viewport.curViewport()
    view.changeType(hou.geometryViewportType.Perspective)
