I'm not sure if you want to understand why simple regexps can't do
what you want, or if you just want a solution to your problem.  Here
is one path you could try:

>>> from compiler import parse
>>> parse(exp)

Module(None, Stmt([Discard(Add((Add((Mul((Name('a'), Add((Name('b'),
Mul((Name('c'), Sub((Const(2), Name('x'))))))))), Name('d'))),
CallFunc(Name('f'), [Name('s1')], None, None))))]))
