[Paraview] Mimicking the 'set view plane direction' GUI buttons in Python script

[Adriano Gagliardi]

I am trying to write a simple few lines of Python code to mimick the view
plane direction buttons available in the GUI, but I'm finding some of the
commands don't seem to accept my input. The version of Paraview is 3.5.0 and
I'm using paraview.simple. For example:

cam = GetActiveCamera()

cam.SetPosition(-15,10,0) #works
cam.GetPosition()		#works
( -15.0, 10.0, 0.0)
Render()

cam.SetFocalPoint(0,10,0) 	#works
cam.GetFocalPoint()		#works
( 0.0, 10.0, 0.0)
Render()

cam.GetViewUp()
(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)
cam.SetViewUp(0,0,1)	#error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable
cam.SetViewUp = (0,0,1)	#appears to have accepted it
cam.GetViewUp()
(0.0, 1.0, 0.0)		#does not update the view

Do I need to update to the latest dev version to get this working? It
appears to work fine with the old Paraview-python API.
