This is not possible with regular expressions - they can't "remember"
how many parens they already encountered.
You will need a real parser for this - pyparsing seems to be the most
popular choice today, I personally like spark. I'm sure you find an
example-grammar that will parse simple arithmetical expressions like
the one above.
