Right, so you stick something in as stderr/stdout that talks to the
logfile.  That is, something like:

     import sys

     class MyFakeStdout(object):
         def flush(self):
             pass
         def write(self, text):
             <code to actually do the logging>
     sys.stderr = sys.stdout = MyFakeStdout()
