From your .vimrc, it looks like you're using filetype indent rules, so the rules used for python will only apply to python.

Probably you'll need to either copy and modify $VIMRUNTIME/indent/python.vim, or provide your own wrapper function around the GetPythonIndent() function defined therein. There do not appear to be any options built into the python.vim indent file to allow customizing the indent of a closing ')'.

It looks like there's some "matched pair" searching built into the indent file (see the line starting with "let parlnum = searchpair("), so you can probably modify the indent script to return its internal plindent variable at an appropriate place.
