Wouldn't a regular expression be enough here?

Something like

# x.py
import re, sys

fcallpat = re.compile(r'\w+\(')

data = sys.stdin.read()
for match in fcallpat.findall(data):
    print match



$ python x.py < x.py
compile(
read(
findall(

You may want to have a wider matching criterium than \w+
