You can log in the /var/tmp directory instead of /tmp. The former does not get
cleaned when you restart. You can rotate your
/var/log logfile manually or with a cronjob or with a shell program.

Try to find out why your logfile gets truncated. I don't know it very well in
python but if you open a file with libc you get to choose if you truncate, 
AFAIK it can be in sys or logging module.
