It's what I'm doing, and it fails for me, using python.el revision
1.52, which hasn't been changed for a month or so.

I've tried lots of older versions of python.el, but they all (1.1,
1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, 1.49 - 1.52) exhibit the same problem.  I
guess the problem is in some other source file.

Here are the backtraces I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (scan-error "Unbalanced parentheses" 8 47)
  scan-sexps(8 1)
  forward-sexp(1)
  call-interactively(forward-sexp)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (scan-error "Unbalanced parentheses" 45 1)
  scan-sexps(46 -1)
  forward-sexp(-1)
  backward-sexp(1)
  call-interactively(backward-sexp)
