Your Nios code doesn't show whether you setup your Baudrate correctly - or at all. (Depending on your FPGA design you may not need to. However, it will need setting up somewhere.)

Refer to chapter 7 - UART Core - of the "embedded peripherals ip user guide (https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_embedded_ip.pdf)". This has some code you can crib from too.

Python looks adequate. Lookup the "Serial.inWaiting()". I think you'll find it helpful.

Cheers,
