On the spot counter

[Astrikor]

I would like to display a count in the Console such that each increment is replaced in the same place (at start of line) by the next.
Having looked at posts on overwriting the last line, I thought this should work ok, but it adds each increment to the last line instead of replacing it

import time
for i in range (15):
    time.sleep(1)
    print(i, end="\r")

result is:
1234567891011121314
note also that when it gets to 6 there is a long gap to 7:
123456 7

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks
Astrikor

What OS are you using?
In my Win10 console everything works as intended.

use:

>>> import time
>>> for i in range(15):
...     time.sleep(1)
...     print(f"{i} ", end='\r')
... 
>>>

I'm using Win7 with Python 3.7.4

Thanks, but that gives same result i.e a horizontal row of concatenated i values as in my query.

When you say console i guess you mean IDLE?
IDLE does not support backspace,carriage-return,form-feed or ANSI escape sequences.
If you run from command line(cmd) it will work,or eg cmder as i use.

IDLE is not so good,and is usually only used bye new users for while.

I also do _not_ see any different pause after 6. I am using spyder from Anaconda Navigator run on Win7.

That´s a problem with Spyder console.
Don´t restrict yourself just to this IDE, try different ones.

Thanks snippsat - yes, I am using IDLE - so that's the answer then.

I'll try something else - how about Pycharm-community-2019.2.5 ?

Thanks again.

Oh no! Pycharm doesn't do the job either - it shows blank until it hits the last count value.

cmd does work, but is clunky to run a file.

I would rather run from an IDE.

Any other ideas?

I tried in Pycharm, we are getting result but not immediate atleast half a second it is taking
