It's got one. Well, three, actually.

The syslog module solves the problem quite nicely, but only works on
Unix. If the OP is working on Unix systems, that may be a good
solution.

The logging module has a SysLogHandler that talks to syslog on
Unix. It also has an NTEventLogHandler for use on NT. I'm not familiar
with NT's event log, but I presume it has the same kind of
functionality as Unix's syslog facility.
