Setting 'classificationMode = Continuous' to a raster layer using PyQGIS?

I need to add to this script:

How to update raster color ramp with new min/max values using PyQGIS?

this function: QgsColorRampShader for setting 'classificationMode = Continuous', similarly as setColorRampType(QgsColorRampShader.INTERPOLATED), but I tried it and it doesn't work.

    def setStyle(self, layer):
    provider = layer.dataProvider()
    extent = layer.extent()

    stats = provider.bandStatistics(1, QgsRasterBandStats.All, extent, 0)


    if stats.minimumValue < 0:
        min = 0
    else:
        min = stats.minimumValue

    max = stats.maximumValue
    range = max - min
    add = range // 2
    interval = min + add


    colDic = {'red': '#ff0000', 'yellow': '#ffff00', 'blue': '#0000ff'}

    valueList = [min, interval, max]

    lst = [QgsColorRampShader.ColorRampItem(valueList[0], QColor(colDic['red'])),
           QgsColorRampShader.ColorRampItem(valueList[1], QColor(colDic['yellow'])),
           QgsColorRampShader.ColorRampItem(valueList[2], QColor(colDic['blue']))]

    myRasterShader = QgsRasterShader()
    myColorRamp = QgsColorRampShader()


    myColorRamp.setColorRampItemList(lst)
    myColorRamp.setColorRampType(QgsColorRampShader.INTERPOLATED)
    # TODO: add classificationMode=Continuos
    myRasterShader.setRasterShaderFunction(myColorRamp)

    myPseudoRenderer = QgsSingleBandPseudoColorRenderer(layer.dataProvider(),
                                                        layer.type(),
                                                        myRasterShader)


    layer.setRenderer(myPseudoRenderer)

    layer.triggerRepaint()

Answer

Unfortunately, it seems that the last QgsColorRampShader() class has not a method that allows setting a classification mode.

Instead, looking at the same API for the upcoming QGIS 3.0, there is the setClassificationMode() module that should do what you are looking for.
