There is a indirect way,you can toggle between portrain & landscape, but only the setting page.Steps:-

1.Disable auto-rotate screen option in settings page,keep the same page open.
2.Keep device in horizontally(It wont go to landscape mode as auto rotate is disabled
3.Get coordinates of disable/enable by enabling 'show pointer location'
4.touch the cordinates using monkeyrunner-it will goto landscape,touch again it will goback to portrait.

If its a physical device then I do not know of a way to change the screen mode without actually physically putting the device on its side.
