First of all, your code is not quite pythonic and it will also open the
connection to the database *every* time you log. That can be quite
expensive and generally is not advisable. Plus it may block your code.

I suggest checking out (already existing) logging module in Python
distribution and extend the BaseHandler to implement the logging to
a database.

I highly recommend implementing pooling of connections to the DB
(ie. by simply using SqlAlchemy instead of direct MySQLDb module).
