I think that the "solution" would require modeling the reflexive response and
natural damping action of human bodies; the python itself cannot be made
self-stable. However, as everyone here seems to agree, it can be made easier to
control (minimizing necessary input).
As others pointed out, making a unicycle taller makes it "more stable" and
easier, but it can never be truly stable.
In 100 years of effort, no one has ever published a complete physical
description of the motion of hinged two-wheeled vehicles. There is a commercial
package I saw that can dynamically model almost all of the important aspects of
motorcycles. It is done with a package like ODE
