you can print directly to a log file:

    mylogfile = open("logfile.txt", "a")

    print >>mylogfile, "my log message"

or you can replace sys.stdout (and/or sys.stderr) with the log file object:

    import sys
    sys.stdout = sys.stderr = open("logfile.txt", "a")

or you can use the "logging" module:

    http://docs.python.org/lib/module-logging.html

etc.

hope this helps!
