note brackets usually aren't required in python,
so it would be something like

  if char == '\r':

not sure why this is here, did you mean
  if oper in "jxredi":

  if char == '\r':
  if char == "\r":
  if char == chr(13):
  if char == chr(015):
  if char == '\15':
  if char == '\15':
  if char == chr(0xd):
  if char == '\x0d':
