The way I handle that is:

DEBUG = False # near top of file
...
try:
   block
except SomeException:
    if DEBUG: log("Blah blah blah")

Usually it's in a class so it would be "self.DEBUG".  You can also get
fancy with debug levels instead of True and False.

My theory is that if I need to log it today there's a more than zero
chance I might need to log it again one day.
