We have no info for the 3 wheels non tilting python,
although a few got made (e.g. jürgen).
The P4 trike is rarely used but does its job:

In the beginning the wheelbase was too short and the front wheel slipped
when climbing steep ramps. So I lenghened it to around 120 cm and it
worked fine. Rear wheel distance is 70 cm. At 20 km/h and quick steering
it is prone to tipping but fortunately never did. My wife feels safe on
it but never rides faster than 25 km/h. In winter on icy roads it works,
but if there is lots of snow, the front wheel gets clogged easily. More
fender/tire clearance would help.
Nobuo has made downhill tests with his static python trike, reaching 60
km/h, but I would not dare this:
