How to print concatenated iterations across a range in python?

Trying to make a program that outputs the sum of integers within a range of integers inclusively. This works, but I am trying to find a way for it to print out the output the way I want it to.

numOne = int(input('enter a number: '))
numTwo = int(input('enter a second number: '))

sum = numOne
for i in range(numOne+1, numTwo+1):
    sum += i
print('the sum of the numbers you entered inclusively is = ', sum)

Current output:

enter a number: 10
enter a second number: 15 
the sum of the numbers you entered inclusively is = 75

Desired output:

enter a number: 10
enter a second number: 15 
the sum of the numbers you entered inclusively is = 75
10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 = 75

I'm aware that I haven't coded for the chance that one of the numbers is negative, but that's not my concern right now. How do I get the for loop to iterate over the range and print it in a concatenated manner like the desired output? Not really needed, but curious to see how I would do it if I needed to.

If the existing code must be kept the same, this will print the last line.

print(' + '.join([str(i) for i in range(numOne, numTwo+1)]), '=', sum)

I suggest using str.join and the builtin sum function (note that if you name a variable sum, it shadows that function):

numOne = int(input('enter a number: '))
numTwo = int(input('enter a second number: '))
nums = range(numOne, numTwo+1)
print(" + ".join(str(n) for n in nums), "=", sum(nums))

enter a number: 10
enter a second number: 15
10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 = 75

This plain loop will do.

for i in range(numOne, numTwo+1):
    if i != numTwo:
        print(f'{i} + ', end='')
    else:
        print(f'{i} = {sum}')
