I am writing an ArcPy script that creates a Point Density Raster file, and then changes the following properties in the resulting layer:

1. Symbology Classified Classes = 10 Classification Method = Geometrical Interval Excluded Value = 0
2. Display Resample during display using: bilinear interpolation

I know I can set lyr.symbology.numClasses = 10. and lyr.symbology.excludedValues = 0, and even create a dummy layer with the above properties (symbologyLayer) and arcpy.ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management(lyr, symbologyLayer). Is there a way to do this simply by setting attributes of lyr.symbology, do I have to do it in one fell swoop with ApplySymbologyFromLayer_management, or is there a better way?
