That's a carriage return, not a newline:

>>> eval("1+2\r")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "<string>", line 1
    1+2
      ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Ah, OK.  Your comment talks about DOS - that won't happen on DOS (or
Windows) which uses \r\n.  I don't know about the Mac.  But the \r\n pair
isn't handled by your code - strip() on the server side will make it work if
that's the problem:

>>> eval("1+2\r".strip())
