Should I acquire lock for logging.Handler.flush()?

[Fayaz Yusuf Khan]

I'm writing a custom logging Handler that sends emails through AWS Simple 
Email Service using the boto library.
As there's a quota cap on how many (200) emails I can send within 24hrs, I 
think I need to buffer my log messages from the emit() calls (Or is that a bad 
idea?).
And I was reading the Handler documentation and was confused if I should call 
the acquire() and release() methods from within a flush() call.
