ultralytics.utils.TQDM
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:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
disable |
bool
|
Whether to disable the progress bar. Determined by the global VERBOSE setting and any passed 'disable' argument. |
bar_format |
str
|
The format string for the progress bar. Uses the global TQDM_BAR_FORMAT if not explicitly set. |
Methods:
Name | Description |
---|
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:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
*args
|
Any
|
Variable length argument list to be passed to the original tqdm constructor. |
()
|
**kwargs
|
Any
|
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.

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:
Name | Description |
---|---|
__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.
__getattr__
Custom attribute access error message with helpful information.
Source code in ultralytics/utils/__init__.py
__repr__
__str__
Return a human-readable string representation of the object.

Methods:
Name | Description |
---|---|
__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.
__getattr__
Custom attribute access error message with helpful information.
Source code in ultralytics/utils/__init__.py
__iter__
__str__
get
Return the value of the specified key if it exists; otherwise, return the default value.

ultralytics.utils.set_logging
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:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
name
|
str
|
Name of the logger. Defaults to "LOGGING_NAME". |
'LOGGING_NAME'
|
verbose
|

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.
