Can someone tell me why it is saying i have a "invalid syntax"?

Question

This is my code:

from getch import getch
from replit import clear
test1 = []
code = {
  "!" : "!","@" : "@","?" : "?","." : ".","," : ","," " : " ","#" : "#","$" : "$","%" : "%","^" : "^","&" : "&","`" : "`","~" : "~","_" : "_","=" : "=","\\" : "\\","|" : "|","[" : "[","{" : "{","]" : "]","}" : "}",";" : ";",":" : ":","'" : "'",'"' : '"',"<" : "<",">" : ">","/" : "/","a" : "7","b" : "8","c" : "9","d" : "4","e" : "5","f" : "6","g" : "1","h" : "2","i" : "3","j" : "÷","k" : "*","l" : "-","m" : "+","n" : "(7)","o" : "(8)","p" : "(9)","q" : "(4)","r" : "(5)","s" : "(6)","t" : "(1)","u" : "(2)","v" : "(3)","w" : "(÷)","x" : "(*)","y" : "(-)","z" : "(+)","A" : "7","B" : "8","C" : "9","D" : "4","E" : "5","F" : "6","G" : "1","H" : "2","I" : "3","J" : "÷","K" : "*","L" : "-","M" : "+","N" : "(7)","O" : "(8)","P" : "(9)","Q" : "(4)","R" : "(5)","S" : "(6)","T" : "(1)","U" : "(2)","V" : "(3)","W" : "(÷)","X" : "(*)","Y" : "(-)","Z" : "(+)"
}
while True:
    test = getch()
    if (test = "\x7f"):
        test1=test1[:-1]
    else:
        test1.append(test)
        clear()
        print("".join(str(code[c]) for c in test1) )

on line 9 it tells me I have a syntax error even tho I typed it correctly, can you guys help me solve this and if it is solved does it work as intended

(this is coded in repl.it)

ah, yep that's all it needed. I took a 3-month break from coding, looks like I forgot a few small things — James Gordon, Feb 25 '21 at 22:15
You don’t need the parentheses around the condition in an `if` statement in Python. — Konrad Rudolph, Feb 25 '21 at 22:20

As people have commented, it needed a == not a =
