thanks Gabriel,
   i wrote the function below, but am now getting an "Error in
sys.exitfunc:" error (which disappears when i comment out the last two
lines below):

class write2Log:
        def write(self, x):
		if x!=',':#ignore if a comma
			if str(x).count('\n')==0:
				buffer += str(x)
			else:
				list = str(x).split('\n')
				logger.debug(buffer)
				buffer = ""
				for text in list:
					logger.debug(text)

sys.stdout = write2Log()
sys.stderr= write2Log()

any ideas what might be wrong?
thanks again
