Formulas to get quaternion for axonometric views:

from math import sqrt, degrees, asin, atan
p1=App.Rotation(App.Vector(1,0,0),90)
p2=App.Rotation(App.Vector(0,0,1),alpha)
p3=App.Rotation(p2.multVec(App.Vector(1,0,0)),beta)
p4=p3.multiply(p2).multiply(p1)
 
from pivy import coin
c=Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getCameraNode()
c.orientation.setValue(*p4.Q)

The angles alpha and beta depend on the type of axonometry Isometric:

alpha=45
beta=degrees(asin(-sqrt(1.0/3.0)))

Dimetric:

alpha=degrees(asin(sqrt(1.0/8.0)))
beta=degrees(-asin(1.0/3.0))

Trimetric:

alpha=30.0
beta=-35.0

Verification code that the axonomtries are correct:

from pivy import coin
c=Gui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getCameraNode()
vo=App.Vector(c.getViewVolume().getMatrix().multVecMatrix(coin.SbVec3f(0,0,0)).getValue())
vx=App.Vector(c.getViewVolume().getMatrix().multVecMatrix(coin.SbVec3f(10,0,0)).getValue())
vy=App.Vector(c.getViewVolume().getMatrix().multVecMatrix(coin.SbVec3f(0,10,0)).getValue())
vz=App.Vector(c.getViewVolume().getMatrix().multVecMatrix(coin.SbVec3f(0,0,10)).getValue())
(vx-vo).Length
