How about representing every log message as a simple object which is
put() on a Queue.Queue? So each server thread produces messages to go
on the Queue, and a single logging thread consumes those messages and
does the actual writing into the log files. Since there is only ever
one thread writing to the files, there are no contention problems.

That Queue.Queue class is mightily useful!
