  The following version works ok for me
  using python2.5 under debian linux ....

import sys
import time

print

for n in range( 11 ) :
    sys.stdout.write( '\r    Working ----> %d ' % n )
    sys.stdout.flush()
    time.sleep( 1 )

else :
    print "\n"
    print "    That's all, folks !"
    print "    Adios ........... "
