 Replying to [comment:1 hamish]:

 be in [square] brackets.

 For me that fails even after make distclean:

 {{{
 Welcome to wxGUI Interactive Python Shell 0.9.8

 Type "help(grass)" for more GRASS scripting related information.
 Type "AddLayer()" to add raster or vector to the layer tree.

 Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug  9 2012, 17:23:57)
 [GCC 4.7.1 20120720 (Red Hat 4.7.1-5)] on linux2
 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

 import grass.script as grass
 grass.find_program('r.sun,', ['help'])
 False
 grass.version()
