Not sure if this was available in python's FB API when the question was originally asked, but a neater approach to extend the expiry of the access token would be:

graph = facebook.GraphAPI(user_short_lived_token_from_client)
app_id = 'app_id' # Obtained from https://developers.facebook.com/
app_secret = 'app_secret' # Obtained from https://developers.facebook.com/

# Extend the expiration time of a valid OAuth access token.
extended_token = graph.extend_access_token(app_id, app_secret)
print extended_token #verify that it expires in 60 days
