Saving active view into ArcGIS Pro project using ArcPy?

Question

I have a desirable requirement to be able to set the active view (Layout, Map, Basemap, etc) in an ArcGIS Pro project using ArcPy.

However the ArcGISProject class does not seem to provide a method to do this.

I would like to be able to make sure that a particular Layout in my ArcGIS Pro project is the view that a copy of my project (made using the saveACopy method) opens to when I give it to someone.

Is it possible to do this by any other means from ArcPy?

If I were using ArcPy with ArcMap the equivalent would be accessible in the activeView property of the MapDocument class.
