This does not seem to be an error with the logging module itself, but
due to the fact that a write to sys.stderr (from the traceback module)
causes the error to be raised. Are you sure that all you need to do is
to set default signal handling for SIGPIPE?

If you set raiseExceptions to false in the logging module, no
exceptions will be raised by the logging module. Otherwise, you can
subclass the handler and override handleError() to treat EPIPE
appropriately.
