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

Python Code:  
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
