ultralytics.utils.TQDM

TQDM(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: tqdm

A custom TQDM progress bar class that extends the original tqdm functionality.

This class modifies the behavior of the original tqdm progress bar based on global settings and provides additional customization options.

Attributes:

NameTypeDescription
disablebool

Whether to disable the progress bar. Determined by the global VERBOSE setting and any passed 'disable' argument.

bar_formatstr

The format string for the progress bar. Uses the global TQDM_BAR_FORMAT if not explicitly set.

Methods:

NameDescription

Examples:

>>> from ultralytics.utils import TQDM
>>> for i in TQDM(range(100)):
...     # Your processing code here
...     pass

This class extends the original tqdm class to provide customized behavior for Ultralytics projects.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescriptionDefault
*argsAny

Variable length argument list to be passed to the original tqdm constructor.

()
**kwargsAny

Arbitrary keyword arguments to be passed to the original tqdm constructor.

{}
Notes
  • The progress bar is disabled if VERBOSE is False or if 'disable' is explicitly set to True in kwargs.
  • The default bar format is set to TQDM_BAR_FORMAT unless overridden in kwargs.

Examples:

>>> from ultralytics.utils import TQDM
>>> for i in TQDM(range(100)):
...     # Your code here
...     pass

ultralytics.utils.SimpleClass

A simple base class for creating objects with string representations of their attributes.

This class provides a foundation for creating objects that can be easily printed or represented as strings, showing all their non-callable attributes. It's useful for debugging and introspection of object states.

Methods:

NameDescription
__str__

Returns a human-readable string representation of the object.

__repr__

Returns a machine-readable string representation of the object.

__getattr__

Provides a custom attribute access error message with helpful information.

Examples:

>>> class MyClass(SimpleClass):
...     def __init__(self):
...         self.x = 10
...         self.y = "hello"
>>> obj = MyClass()
>>> print(obj)
__main__.MyClass object with attributes:

x: 10 y: 'hello'

Notes
  • This class is designed to be subclassed. It provides a convenient way to inspect object attributes.
  • The string representation includes the module and class name of the object.
  • Callable attributes and attributes starting with an underscore are excluded from the string representation.

ultralytics.utils.IterableSimpleNamespace

Bases: SimpleNamespace

An iterable SimpleNamespace class that provides enhanced functionality for attribute access and iteration.

This class extends the SimpleNamespace class with additional methods for iteration, string representation, and attribute access. It is designed to be used as a convenient container for storing and accessing configuration parameters.

Methods:

NameDescription
__iter__

Returns an iterator of key-value pairs from the namespace's attributes.

__str__

Returns a human-readable string representation of the object.

__getattr__

Provides a custom attribute access error message with helpful information.

get

Retrieves the value of a specified key, or a default value if the key doesn't exist.

Examples:

>>> cfg = IterableSimpleNamespace(a=1, b=2, c=3)
>>> for k, v in cfg:
...     print(f"{k}: {v}")
a: 1
b: 2
c: 3
>>> print(cfg)
a=1
b=2
c=3
>>> cfg.get("b")
2
>>> cfg.get("d", "default")
'default'
Notes

This class is particularly useful for storing configuration parameters in a more accessible and iterable format compared to a standard dictionary.

ultralytics.utils.set_logging

set_logging(name='LOGGING_NAME', verbose=True)

Sets up logging with UTF-8 encoding and configurable verbosity.

This function configures logging for the Ultralytics library, setting the appropriate logging level and formatter based on the verbosity flag and the current process rank. It handles special cases for Windows environments where UTF-8 encoding might not be the default.

Parameters:

NameTypeDescriptionDefault
namestr

Name of the logger. Defaults to "LOGGING_NAME".

'LOGGING_NAME'
verbosebool

Flag to set logging level to INFO if True, ERROR otherwise. Defaults to True.

True

Examples:

>>> set_logging(name="ultralytics", verbose=True)
>>> logger = logging.getLogger("ultralytics")
>>> logger.info("This is an info message")
Notes
  • On Windows, this function attempts to reconfigure stdout to use UTF-8 encoding if possible.
  • If reconfiguration is not possible, it falls back to a custom formatter that handles non-UTF-8 environments.
  • The function sets up a StreamHandler with the appropriate formatter and level.
  • The logger's propagate flag is set to False to prevent duplicate logging in parent loggers.

ultralytics.utils.set_sentry

set_sentry()

Initialize the Sentry SDK for error tracking and reporting. Only used if sentry_sdk package is installed and sync=True in settings. Run 'yolo settings' to see and update settings.

Conditions required to send errors (ALL conditions must be met or no errors will be reported): - sentry_sdk package is installed - sync=True in YOLO settings - pytest is not running - running in a pip package installation - running in a non-git directory - running with rank -1 or 0 - online environment - CLI used to run package (checked with 'yolo' as the name of the main CLI command)

The function also configures Sentry SDK to ignore KeyboardInterrupt and FileNotFoundError exceptions and to exclude events with 'out of memory' in their exception message.

Additionally, the function sets custom tags and user information for Sentry events.
